TENTH  THOUSAND 


CHRISTIAN    PUBLISHING   ASSOCIATION 
DAYTON,    OHIO 


Copyright,  1891  and  1909,  by  the 
Christian  Publishing  Association 


The  Text  of  the  Responsive  Readings  in  this  book 
is  taken  from  the  American  Standard  Edition  of 
the  Revised  Bible,  copyright  1901  by  Thomas 
Nelson  &  Sons,  and  is  used  by  their  permission. 


PREFACE 


Nearly  eighteen  years  ago,  the  first  edition  of  The  Christian  Hymnary  was 
published,  containing  some  features  not  before  found  in  any  book  prepared  for  the 
use  of  our  people.  It  was  received  with  favor,  passing  through  several  editi(  ns. 
Suggestions  of  changes  in  the  book  were  made,  as  a  result  of  use,  and  the  Board  of 
Trustees  of  the  Christian  Publishing  Association,  several  months  ago,  appointed 
the  undersigned  a  Committee  to  revise  and  improve  the  Hymnary. 

After  several  meetings,  it  was  decided  last  January  to  make  a  thorough  revision, 
necessitating  new  plates  for  the  entire  book,  reducing  the  number  of  hymns  more 
than  one-fifth,  increasing  the  number  of  Responsive  Readings,  and  seeking  to  make 
the  book,  containing  445  pages,  of  greater  service  to  the  churches. 

In  reducing  the  number  of  hymns,  care  has  been  exercised  to  retain  the  best, 
while  the  same  aim  has  been  kept  in  view  in  the  exclusion  of  tunes.  A  few  hymns 
have  been  added,  most  of  which  have  been  written  by  our  own  ministers,  while  a 
few  tunes  have  been  introduced,  composed  by  Prof.  Alfred  M.  Wilber,  Rev.  C.  V. 
Strickland,  and  Prof.  C.  H,  Gabriel,  to  whom  grateful  acknowledgment  is  hereby 
expressed. 

The  music  typography  is  larger  and  clearer  than  in  the  first  edition,  which  must 
be  a  delight  to  the  eye,  while  an  entire  hymn,  as  far  as  practicable,  has  been  printed 
within  the  staff  of  each  tune,  a  feature  which  is  worthy  of  special  attention. 

The  Responsive  Readings,  divided  into  thirty-five  selections  of  convenient  length, 
would  seem  to  be  sufficient  to  serve  their  purpose  in  all  congregations  which  include 
responsive  reading  in  their  order  of  service. 

The  Committee  feels  confident  that  the  mechanical  part  of  the  work  is  the  very 
best,  and  that  this  edition  of  the  Hymnary  is  such  as  will  meet  the  needs  of  all  our 
churches,  to  whose  patronage  the  work  is  heartily  commended. 

The  Committee  sends  forth  the  book  with  the  earnest  desire  that  it  may  be  gen- 
erally used,  and  may  prove  an  efficient  help  in  the  service  of  the  Lord's  House.

The  dawn  of  thy  returning  day ; 

My  thoughts,  O  God,  ascend  to  th^e ; 
While  thus  my  early  vows  I  pay. 

2  I  yield  my  heart  to  thee  alone, 
Nor  would  receive  another  guest ; 

Eternal  King,  erect  thy  throne, 

And  reign  sole  Monarch  in  my  breast. 


3  O,  bid  this  trifling  world  retire, 
And  drive  each  carnal  thought  away, 

Nor  let  me  feel  one  vain  desire, 

One  sinful  thought,  through  all  the  day. 

4  Then,  to  thy  courts  when  I  repair, 
My  soul  shall  rise  on  joyful  wing, 

The  wonders  of  thy  love  declare. 

And  join  the  strains  which  angels  sing.

1  Great  God,  the  followers  of  thy  Son, 

We  bow  before  thy  mercy-seat, 
To  worship  thee,  the  Holy  One, 
And  pour  our  wishes  at  thy  feet. 

2  O,  grant  thy  blessing  here  to-day ; 

O,  give  thy  people  joy  and  peace ; 
The  tokens  of  thy  love  display, 
And  favor  that  shall  never  cease. 


3  We  seek  the  truth  which  Jesus  brought ; 

His  path  of  light  we  long  to  tread  ; 
Here  be  his  holy  doctrines  taught, 
And  here  their  purest  influence  shed. 

4  May  faith,  and  hope,  and  love  abound ; 

Our  sins  and  errors  be  forgiven  ; 
And  we,  from  day  to  day,  be  found 
Children  of  God  and  heirs  of  heaven.

Lo,  God  is  here  1  let  us  adore. 
And  humbly  bow  before  his  face ; 

Let  all  within  us  feel  his  power, 
Let  all  within  us  seek  his  grace. 

Lo,  God  is  here  I  him,  day  and  night, 

United  choirs  of  angels  sing : 
To  him,  enthroned  above  all  height, 

Heaven's  host  their  noblest  praises  bring. 

Being  of  beings,  may  our  praise 
Thy  courts  with  grateful  incense  fill ; 

Still  may  we  stand  before  thy  face, 
Still  hear  and  do  thy  sovereign  will.

The  Hour  of  Prayer. 

1  Blest  hour!  when  mortal  man  retires, 

To  hold  communion  with  his  God, 
To  send  to  heaven  his  warm  desires, 
And  listen  to  the  sacred  word. 

2  Blest  hour  I  for,  where  the  Lord  resorts, 

Foretastes  of  future  bliss  are  given  ; 
And  mortals  find  his  earthly  courts 

The  house  of  God,  the  gate  of  Heaven  I 

3  Hail,  peaceful  hour  1  supremely  blest, 

Amid  the  hours  of  worldly  care, 
The  hour  that  yields  the  spirit  rest. 
That  sacred  hour,  the  hour  of  prayer. 

4  And,  when  my  hours  of  prayer  are  past, 

And  this  frail  tenement  decays. 
Then  may  I  spend,  in  heaven,  at  last, 
A  never-ending  hour  of  praise.

The  Sacrifice  of  the  Heart 


1  When,  as  returns  this  solemn  day, 

Man  comes  to  meet  his  Maker,  God, 
What  rites,  what  honors  shall  he  pay  ? 
How  spread  his  sovereign  name  abroad  ? 

2  From  marble  domes  and  gilded  spires 

Shall  curling  clouds  of  incense  rise. 
And  gems,  and  gold,  and  garlands  deck 
The  costly  pomp  of  sacrifice  ? 

3  Vain,  sinful  man  I  creation's  Lord 

Thy  golden  offerings  well  may  spare, 
But  give  thy  heart,  and  thou  shalt  find 
Here  dwells  a  God  who  heareth  prayer.

Early    Will  I  Seek  Thee 


1  Early,  my  God,  without  delay, 

I  haste  to  seek  thy  face ; 
My  thirsty  spirit  faints  away 
Without  thy  cheering  grace. 

2  I've  seen  thy  glorj-  and  thy  power 

Through  all  thy  temple  shine ; 
My  God,  repeat  that  heavenly  hour, 
That  vision  so  divine. 


3  Not  life  itself,  with  all  its  joys, 

Can  my  best  passions  move, 
Or  raise  so  high  my  cheerful  voice, 
As  thy  forgiving  love. 

4  Thus,  till  my  last  expiring  day, 

I'll  bless  my  God  and  King, 
Thus  will  I  lift  my  hands  to  pray, 
And  tune  my  heart  to  sing.

And  sheds  abroad  his  grace.

The  Accepted  Offering 


Lord,  what  offering  shall  we  bring, 

At  thine  altars,  when  we  bow  ? 
Hearts,  the  pure,  unsullied  spring 

Whence  the  kind  affections  flow ; 
Soft  compassion's  feeling  soul 

By  the  melting  eye  expressed ; 
Sympathy,  at  whose  control 

Sorrow  leaves  the  wounded  breast. 


Willing  hands  to  lead  the  blind ; 

Bind  the  wounded,  feed  the  poor ; 
Love,  embracing  all  our  kind ; 

Charity,  with  liberal  store. 
Teach  us,  O  thou  heavenly  King, 

Thus  to  show  our  grateful  mind, 
Thus  the  accepted  offering  bring  — 

Love  to  thee  and  all  mankind.

Feast  of  Love 


3  Jesus,  we  thy  promise  claim, 
We  are  met  in  thy  great  name ; 
In  the  midst  do  thou  appear, 
Manifest  thy  presence  here. 


Hands  and  hearts  and  voices  raise 
Sing  as  in  the  ancient  days ; 
Taste  e'en  now  the  joys  above, 
Find  the  heaven  of  mutual  love.

Make  us  all  in  thee  complete, 
Make  us  all  for  glory  meet, — 
Meet  to  appear  before  thy  sight, 
Partners  of  the  saints  in  light.

1  Lord  of  the  worlds  above, 

How  pleasant  and  how  fair 
The  dwellings  of  thy  love, 

Thine  earthly  temples  are  1 
To  thine  abode  my  heart  aspires, 
With  warm  desires  to  see  my  God, 

2  O,  happy  souls  that  pray 

Where  God  appoints  to  hear  1 
O,  happy  men  that  pay 


A  Day  in  Thy  Courts 

Their  constant  service  there  ! 
They  praise  thee  still ;  and  happy  they 
Who  love  the  way  to  Zion's  hill. 

3  They  go  from  strength  to  strength 
Through  this  dark  vale  of  tears, 
Till  each  arrives  at  length. 

Till  each  in  heaven  appears. 
O,  glorious  seat,  when  God  our  King 
Shall  thither  bring  our  willing  feet.

Attend  our  humble  cry, — 
And  let  thy  servants  share 

Thy  blessing  from  on  high : 
We  plead  the  promise  of  thy  word  ; 
Grant  us  thy  Holy  Spirit,  Lord.

Their  children  when  they  cry, 
If  they,  with  love  sincere, 

Their  children's  wants  supply, 


Ask,  and  It  Shall  be   Given    You 


Much  more  wilt  thou  thy  love  display, 
And  answer  when  thy  children  pray.

We,  children  of  thy  grace  : 
O,  let  thy  Spirit  now 

Descend  and  fill  the  place, 
That  all  may  feel  the  heavenly  flame, 
And  all  unite  to  praise  thy  name.

Where  my  Redeemer,  God, 

Unveils  the  beauties  of  his  face, 

And  sheds  his  love  abroad !

To  which  the  great  resort, 
Are  once  to  be  compared  with  this, 
Where  Jesus  holds  his  courts.

With  radiant  glory  crowned, 
Our  joyful  eyes  behold  him  sit, 
And  smile  on  all  around.

Within  thy  blest  abode, 
Among  the  children  of  thy  grace, 
The  servants  of  my  God.

Praising  God  for  Mercies 


I  O  bless  the  Lord,  my  soul  I 
Let  all  within  me  join, 
And  aid  my  tongue  to  bless  his  name, 
Whose  favors  are  divine. 


3   'Tis  he  forgives  thy  sins ; 
'Tis  he  relieves  thy  pain ; 
'Tis  he  that  heals  thy  sicknesses, 
And  makes  thee  young  again. 


2  O  bless  the  Lord,  my  soul  1 
Nor  let  his  mercies  lie 
Forgotten  in  unthankfulness, 
And  without  praises  die. 


4  He  crowns  thy  life  with  love, 
When  ransomed  from  the  grave  ; 
He  that  redeemed  my  soul  from  hell, 
Hath  sovereign  power  to  save.

Before  we  reach  the  heavenly  fields

To  make  our  pleasures  less.

And  every  tear  be  dry  ;

To  fairer  worlds  on  high.

All  I  desired  or  wished  below, 
And  every  power  find  sweet  employ 
In  that  eternal  world  of  joy.

A  Joyful  Song 


I   Sing  to  the  Lord  a  joyful  song ; 

Lift  up  your  hearts,  your  voices  raise; 
To  us  his  gracious  gifts  belong, 

To  him  our  songs  of  love  and  praise. 


3  For  strength  to  those  who  on  him  wait, 
His  truth  to  prove,  his  will  to  do, 

Praise  ye  our  God,  for  he  is  great. 
Trust  in  his  name,  for  it  is  true  ;— 


2  For  life  and  love,  for  rest  and  food, 
For  daily  help  and  nightly  care, 

Sing  to  the  Lord,  for  he  is  good, 

And  praise  his  name,  for  it  is  fair : — 


4  For  life  below,  with  all  its  bliss. 
And  for  that  life,  more  pure  and  high, 

That  inner  life,  which  over  this 
Shall  ever  shine,  and  never  die.

Before  the  Lord,  your  sovereign  King; 

Serve  him  with  cheerful  heart  and  voice ; 
With  all  your  tongues  his  glory  sing. 

2  The  Lord  is  God ;  'tis  he  alone 
Doth  life,  and  breath,  and  being  give ;

Made  us  of  clay,  and  formed  us  men ; 
And,  when  like    wandering    sheep    we 

strayed, 
He  brought  us  to  his  fold  again.

And  my  salvation  too  : 
God  is  my  strength,  nor  will  I  fear 
What  all  my  foes  can  do. 

2  One  privilege  my  heart  desires — 

O,  grant  me  an  abode 
Among  the  churches  of  thy  saints, 
The  temples  of  my  God. 


3  There  shall  I  offer  my  requests, 

And  see  thy  beauty  still ; 
Shall  hear  thy  messages  of  love, 
And  there  inquire  thy  will. 

4  When  troubles, rise  and  storms  appear, 

There  may  his  children  hide  : 
God  has  a  strong  pavilion,  where 
He  makes  my  soul  abide.

JIo/_y,  Jfo/y,  Holy  Lord 

1  Lord,  thy  glory  fills  the  heaven  ; 

Earth  is  with  its  fulness  stored ; 
Unto  thee  be  glory  given, 
Holy,  holy,  holy  Lord. 

2  Heaven  is  still  with  anthems  singing; 

Earth  takes  up  the  angel's  cry, 
Holy,  holy,  holy,  singing, 

Lord  of  hosts,  thou  Lord  most  high. 

3  Ever  thus  in  God's  high  praises, 

Brethren,  let  our  tongues  unite. 
While  our  thoughts  his  greatness  raises, 
And  our  love  his  gifts  excite. 

4  Thus  thy  glorious  name  confessing, 

We  adopt  the  angels'  cry  : 
Holy,  holy,  holy,  blessing 

Thee,  the  Lord  our  God  most  high.

Lowly  Praise 

1  Lord,  in  heaven,  thy  dwelling-place, 
Hear  the  praises  of  our  race, 
And,  while  hearing,  let  thy  grace 

Dews  of  sweet  forgiveness  pour ; 

2  While  we  know,  benignant  King, 
That  the  praises  which  we  bring 
Are  a  worthless  offering 

Till  thy  blessing  makes  it  more. 

3  More  of  truth  and  more  of  might, 
More  of  love  and  more  of  light, 
More  of  reason  and  of  right, 

From  thy  pardoning  grace  be  given. 

4  It  can  make  the  humblest  song 
Sweet,  acceptable,  and  strong 
As  the  strains  the  angels'  throng 

Pour  around  the  throne  of  heaven.

Morning  Prayer  for  Direction 


3  Lord,  thy  commands  are  clean  and  pure, 
Enlightening  our  beclouded  eyes. 

Thy  threatenings  just,  thy  promise  sure; 
Thy  gospel  makes  the  simple  wise. 

4  Give  me  thy  counsel  for  my  guide. 
And  then  receive  me  to  thy  bliss ; 

All  my  desires  and  hopes  beside 
Are  faint  and  cold,  compared  with  this.

I   Sweet  is  the  light  of  Sabbath  eve,  3   Season  of  rest  —  the  tranquil  soul 

And  soft  the  sunbeams  lingering  there  ;       Feels  the  sweet  calm,  and  melts  in  love; 

For  these  blest  hours  the  world  I  leave,      And,  while  these  sacred  moments  roll, 
Wafted  on  wings  of  faith  and  prayer.  Faith  sees  a  smiling  heaven  above. 


2  The  time  how  lovely  and  how  still  1  4  Nor  will  our  days  of  toil  be  long  ; 

Peace  shines  and  smiles  on  all  below;        Our  pilgrimage  will  soon  be  trod  ; 

The  plain,  the  stream,  tlie  wood,  the  hill,  And  we  shall  join  the  ceaseless  song, 

All  fair  with  evening's  setting  glow.  The  endless  Sabbath  of  our  God,

Sweet  as  the  evening  sacrifice. 


Let  My  Prayer  be  as  Incense

Smite  and  reprove  my  wandering  way, 
Their  gentle  words,  like  ointmentshed.

Watch  o'er  my  lips,  and  guard  them.

Psalm  J  :  j" 


Once  more,  my  soul,  the  rising  day 

Salutes  thy  waking  eyes  ; 
Once  more,  my  voice,  thy  tribute  pay 

To  him  that  rules  the  skies. 


2   Night  unto  night  his  name  repeats. 
The  day  renews  the  sound, 
Wide  as  the  heaven  on  which  he  sits, 
To  turn  the  seasons  round. 


3  Great  God,  let  all  my  hours  be  thine, 
While  I  enjoy  the  light ; 
Then  shall  my  sun  in  smiles  decline, 
And  bring  a  pleasant  night.

Evening  Reflections 


1  The  day  is  past  and  gone, 

The  evening  shades  appear; 
O,  may  we  all  remember  well 
The  night  of  death  draws  near. 

2  Lord,  keep  us  safe  this  night, 

Secure  from  all  our  fears ; 
May  angels  guard  us  while  we  sleep, 
Till  morning  light  appears. 


3  And  if  we  early  rise. 

And  view  th'  unwearied  sun, 
May  we  set  out  to  win  the  prize, 
And  after  glory  run. 

4  And  when  our  days  are  past. 

And  we  from  time  remove, 
O,  may  we  in  thy  bosom  rest, 
The  bosom  of  thy  love.

Blessing  Sought 


Gracious  Saviour,  thus  before  thee, 
With  our  varied  want  and  care  ; 

For  a  blessing  we  implore  thee. 
Listen  to  our  evening  prayer. 


3  Thro'  the  day,  Lord,  thou  hast  given 
Strength  sufficient  for  our  need  ; 
Cheered  us  with  sweet  hopes  of  heaven. 
Helped  and  comforted  indeed. 


2  By  thy  favor  safely  living, 

With  a  grateful  heart  we  raise 
Songs  of  jubilant  thanksgiving ; 
Listen  to  our  evening  praise. 


4  Lord,  we  thank  thee,  and  adore  thee, 
For  the  solace  of  thy  love ; 
And  rejoicing  thus  before  thee, 
Wait  thy  blessing  from  above  1

Vesper  Hymn 


Hark  !  the  vesper  hymn  is  stealing 
O'er  the  waters  soft  and  clear ; 

Nearer  yet,  and  nearer  pealing. 

Now  it  bursts  upon  the  ear ! 

Jubilate  I  Amen  I 

Farther  now,  now  farther  stealing, 
Soft  it  fades  upon  the  ear. 


2   Now  like  moonlight  waves  retreating 
To  the  shore,  it  dies  along; 
Now  like  angry  surges  meeting. 
Breathes  the  mingled  tide  of  song, 
Jubilate  !  Amen  ! 
Hush  !  again  like  waves  retreating 
To  the  shore,  it  dies  along.

I   O  Holy  Father !  'mid  the  calm 

And  stillness  of  this  evening  hour, 
We  would  lift  up  our  solemn  psalm, 

To  praise  thy  goodness  and  thy  power  : 
For  over  us,  and  over  all, 

Thy  tender  mercies  still  extend, 
Nor  vainly  shall  thy  children  call 

On  thee,  our  Father  and  our  Friend  1 


2   Kept  by  thy  goodness  through  the  day. 

Thanksgiving  to  thy  name  we  pour  1 
Night  o'er  us,  with  its  stars, —  we  pray 

Thy  love,  to  guard  us  evermore  1 
In  grief,  console;  in  gladness,  bless; 

In  darkness,  guide  ;  in  sickness,  cheer ; 
Till,  perfected  in  righteousness, 

Before  thy  throne  our  souls  appear  1

Dismiss  us  with  thy  blessing.  Lord  ! 
Help  us  to  feed  upon  thy  word  ; 
Grant  us,  our  few  remaining  days, 
To  work  thy  will  and  live  thy  praise. 


Teach  us  in  life  and  death  to  bless 
Thee,  Lord,  our  strength  and  right- 
eousness ; 
And  grant  we  all  may  meet  above, 
Where  we  shall  better  sing  thy  love.

Christian  Farewell 


Thy  presence,  ever-living  God, 
Wide  thro'  all  nature  spreads  abroad  ; 
Thy  watchful  eyes,  which  never  sleep. 
In  every  place  thy  children  keep. 


To  thee  we  now  commit  our  ways, 
And  still  implore  thy  heav'nly  grace  ; 
Still  cause  thy  face  on  us  to  shine, 
And  guard  and  guide  us  still  as  thine. 


3  Bring  us  again  to  pay  our  vows, 
O  Lord,  in  thy  beloved  house  ; 
Or,  if  that  joy  no  more  be  known, 
O  may  we  meet  around  thy  throne.

The  gospel's  joyful  sound  ; 
Peace  shall  attend  the  path  they  go, 
And  light  their  steps  surround. 

2  Their  joys  shall  bear  their  spirits  up 

Through  their  Redeemer's  name  ; 

52 


His  righteousness  exalts  their  hope. 
Nor  Satan  dares  condemn. 

The  Lord,  our  glory  and  defence, 
Strength  and  salvation  gives; 

Israel  I  thy  King  for  ever  reigns. 
Thy  God  for  ever  lives.

God  Incomprehensible 


1  Great  God,  in  vain  man's  narrow  view       ; 
Attempts  to  look  thy  nature  through ! 
Our  laboring  powers  with  reverence  own 

.    Thy  glories  never  can  be  known. 

2  Not  the  high  seraph's  mighty  thought,    < 
Who  countless  years  his  God  has  sought, 
Such  wondrous  height  or  depth  can  find, 
Or  fully  trace  thy  boundless  mind. 

54 


And  yet  thy  kindness  deigns  to  show 
Enough  for  mortal  minds  to  know ; 
While  wisdom,  goodness,  power  divine, 
Thro'  all  thy  works  and  conduct  shine. 

O,  may  our  souls  with  rapture  trace 
Thy  works  of  nature  and  of  grace, 
Explore  thy  sacred  truth,  and  still 
Press  on  to  know  and  do  thy  will.

God's  Loving  Grace 


1  Come,  happy  souls,  approach  your  God 
With  new,  melodious  songs  ; 

Come,  render  to  almighty  grace 
The  tribute  of  your  tongues. 

2  So  strange,  so  boundless  was  the  love 
That  pitied  dying  men, 

The  Father  sent  his  only  son 
To  give  them  life  again. 


3  Yes,  all  was  merciful  and  mild, 
And  wrath  forsook  the  throne, 

When  Christ  on  the  kind  errand  came, 
And  brought  salvation  down. 

4  See,  dearest  Lord,  our  willing  souls 
Accept  thine  offered  grace  ; 

We  bless  the  great  Redeemer's  love, 
And  give  the  Father  praise.

Thrice  holy!  let  us  sing.

Pay,  O  my  soul,  to  God; 
Lift  with  thy  hands  a  holy  heart 

To  his  sublime  abode. 


With  sacred  awe  pronounce  his  name,

A  broken  heart  shall  please  him  more 

Than  noblest  forms  of  speech.

From  all  pollution  free;

Beaming  through  all  thy  works, we  see  ; 

Thy  glory  gilds  the  heavens  above, 
And  all  the  earth  is  full  of  thee. 


2  Thy  voice  we  hear,  thy  presence  feel, 
While  thou  too  pure  for  mortal  sight. 

Involved  in  clouds,  invisible, 

Reignest  the  Lord  of  life  and  light. 


3  We  know  not  in  what  hallowed  part 
Of  the  wide  heavens  thy  throne  may 

be; 
But  this  we  know,  that  where  thou  art 
Strength,  wisdom,  goodness,  dwell  with 
thee. 

4  Thy  children  shall  not  faint  nor  fear. 
Sustained  by  this  delightful  thought, 

Since  thou,  their  God,  art  everywhere. 
They  cannot  be  where  thou  art  not.

IN  NATURE 


1 2 A.     ( JBsfield)     L.  M.      Presence  and  Love  of  God 


I   God  reigns  on  earth;  he  reigns  above  ; 

His  realm  embraces  every  shore ; 
He  reigns  in  righteousness  and  love, 

Almighty  King  for  evermore. 
With  swelling  heart,  I  look  on  high  ; 

And  every  light  that  blazes  there. 
Each  constellation  of  the  sky, 

His  wisdom  and  his  love  declare. 


2   There's  not  a  leaf  in  yonder  bower, 

Or  gem  that  sparkles  in  the  sea, 
Or  blade  of  grass,  or  tender  flower, 

But  has  a  voice  of  love  for  me, — 
A  voice  that  speaks  of  God — my  trust 

When  danger  or  when  death  is  near ; 
He  lifts  the  righteous  from  the  dust ; 

He  wipes  away  the  scalding  tear.

God  Through  All  and  in    You  All 


God  of  the  earth,  the  sky,  the  sea  ; 

Of  all  above  and  all  below, — 
Creation  lives  and  moves  in  thee ; 

Thy  present  life  through  all  doth  flow. 

Thy  love  is  in  the  sunshine's  glow, 
Thy  life  is  in  the  quickening  air ; 

When  lightnings  flash  and  storm-winds 
blow. 
There  is  thy  power  ;  thy  law  is  there. 


63 


We  feel  thy  calm  at  evening's  hour. 
Thy  grandeur  in  the  march  of  night, 

And  when  the  morning  breaks  in  pow'r. 
We   hear  thy  word,  "Let  there  be 
light." 

But  higher  far,  and  far  more  clear. 
Thee  in  man's  spirit  we  behold  ; 

Thine  image  and  thyself  are  there, — 
Th'  indwellingGod, proclaimed  ofold.

Every  Good  Gift  is  from  Above 


I  Great  God,  let  all  my  tuneful  powers 
Awake,  and  sing  thy  mighty  name : 
Thy  hand  revolves  my  circling  hours — 
Thy   hand,  from  whence  my  being 


3  My  life,  my  health,  my  friends  I  owe, 
All  to  thy  vast,  unbounded  love; 
Ten  thousand  precious  gifts  below, 
And  hope  of  nobler  joys  above. 


2  Seasons  and  moons,  still  rolling  round  4  Thus  will  I  sing  till  nature  cease. 

In  beauteous  order,  speak  thy  praise  ;  Till  sense  and  language  are  no  more ; 

And  years,  with  smiling  mercy  crowned  ;  And,  after  death,  thy  boundless  grace 

To  thee  successive  honors  raise.  Through  everlasting  years  adore.

Perfections 


I   The  Lord  I  how  wondrous  are  his  ways!  2   Not  half  so  high  his  power  hath  spread 
How  firm  his  truth  !  how  large  his  grace!       The  starry  heavens  above  ®ur  head. 
He  takes  his  mercy  for  his  throne.  As  his  rich  love  exceeds  our  praise, 

And  thence  he  makes  his  glories  known.       Exceeds  the  highest  hopes  we  raise. 

3  Not  half  so  far  has  nature  placed 
The  rising  morning  from  the  west. 
As  his  forgiving  grace  removes 
The  daily  guilt  of  those  he  loves.

Fullness  of  Love 


Arr.  by  S.  J.  Vail 


t'^mwW' 


There's    a       full  -  ness      in    God's  mar -cy, 
There's  no    place  where  earth  -  Jy     sor-rows 


Like      the     full  -  ness     of 
Are     more   felt    than    up 


the  sea; 
in  heav'n ; 


There's    a     kind -ness     in       his      jus-tice,         Which      is    more  than     lib    -    er  -    ty. 
There's  no   place  where  earth -ly      fail-ings  Have    suchkind  -  ly      judg- ment  giv'n. 


2  For  the  love  of  God  is  broader 

Than  the  measure  of  man's  mind 
And  the  heart  of  the  Eternal 

Is  most  wonderfully  kind. 
But  we  make  his  love  too  narrow 

By  false  limits  of  our  own  ; 
And  we  magnify  his  strictness 

With  a  zeal  he  will  not  own

3  Pining  souls  !  come  nearer  Jesus  ; 

Come,  but  come  not  doubting  thus, 
Come  with  faith  that  trusts  more  freely 

His  great  tenderness  for  us. 
If  our  love  were  but  more  simple 

We  should  take  him  at  his  word ; 
And  our  lives  would  be  all  sunshine 

In  the  sweetness  of  our  Lord.  —  Ref.

1  The  harp  at  Nature's  advent  strung 

Has  never  ceased  to  play  ; 
The  song  the  stars  of  morning  sung 
Has  never  died  away. 

2  And  prayer  is  made,  and  praise  is  given 

By  all  things  near  and  far ; 


Worship 

The  ocean  looketh  up  to  heaven 
And  mirrors  every  star ; 
3  So  Nature  keeps  the  reverent  frame 
With  which  her  years  began  ; 
And  all  her  signs  and  voices  shame 
The  prayerless  heart  of  man.

All  as  God  Wills 


I  All  as  God  wills  1  who  wisely  heeds 
To  give  or  to  withhold, 
And  knoweth  more  of  all  my  needs 
Than  all  my  prayers  have  told. 


3  That  death  seems  but  a  covered  way 
Which  opens  into  light, 
Wherein  no  blinded  child  can  stray 
Beyond  the  Father's  sight.

Have  marked  my  erring  track ; 
That,  wheresoe'er  my  feet  have  swerved. 
Thy  chastening  turned  me  back ;

The  Lord  Jehovah  lives, 

And  blessed  be  my  Rock  I 
Though  earth  her  bosom  heaves 

And  mountains  feel  the  shock, 
Though  oceans  rage  and  torrents  roar, 

He  is  the  same  for  evermore. 


The  Lord  Jehovah  lives, 
The  dying  sinner's  Friend  ; 

How  freely  he  forgives 
The  follies  that  ofifend  1 

He  wipes  the  penitential  tear. 

Bids  faith  and  hope  the  spirit  cheer. 


The  Lord  Jehovah  lives 

To  hear  and  answer  prayer  ; 
Whoe'er  in  him  believes 

And  trusts  his  guardian  care, 
A  Father's  tender  love  shall  know, 

Whence  living  streams  of  comfort  flow.

Good  Tidings  of  Great  Joy 


1  Hark  I  hark  I  the  notes  of  joy 

Roll  o'er  the  heavenly  plains, 
And  seraphs  find  employ 
For  their  sublimest  strains. 
Some  new  delight  in  heaven  is  known. 
Loud  sound  the  harps  around  the  throne. 

2  Hark  !  hark  I  the  sound  draws  nigh  ; 

The  joyful  hosts  descend  ; 
Jesus  forsakes  the  sky  ; 


To  earth  his  footsteps  bend  : 
He  comes  to  bless  our  fallen  race ; 
He  comes  with  messages  of  grace. 

3   Strike,  strike  the  harps  again 
To  great  Immanuel's  name ; 
Arise,  ye  sons  of  men, 

And  all  his  grace  proclaim  : 

Angels  and  men,  wake  every  string; 

'Tis  Christ  the  Saviour's  praise  we  sing-

Star  of  Bethlehem 


As  shadows,  cast  by  cloud  and  sun, 
Flit  o'er  the  summer  grass, 

Lo,  in  thy  sight,  Almighty  One! 
Earth's  generation's  pass. 

Yet  doth  the  star  of  Bethlehem  shed 
A  lustre  pure  and  sweet ; 


82 


And  still  it  leads,  as  once  it  led, 

To  the  Messiah's  feet. 
O  Father,  may  that  holy  Star 

Grow  every  year  more  bright, 
And  send  its  glorious  beams  afar, 

To  fill  the  world  with  light.

The  Advent 
Hark  I  the  glad  sound!  the  Saviour  comes  ;  3  He  comes  the  broken  heart  to  bind, 


The  Saviour  promised  longl 
Let  every  heart  prepare  a  throne, 
And  every  voice  a  song. 

He  comes  the  prisoners  to  release, 
In  wretched  bondage  held  ; 

The  gates  of  brass  before  him  burst, 
The  iron  fetters  yield. 


83 


The  bleeding  soul  to  cure. 
And  with  the  treasures  of  his  grace. 
Enrich  the  humble  poor. 

Our  glad  hosannas,  Prince  of  Peace, 
Thy  welcome  shall  proclaim, 

And  heav'n's  eternal  arches  ring 
With  thy  beloved  name.

1  O  Christ,  our  King,  Creator,  Lord  I 
Saviour  of  all  who  trust  thy  word  1 
To  them  who  seek  thee  ever  near, 
Now  to  our  praises  bend  thine  ear. 

2  In  thy  dear  Cross  a  grace  is  found, — 
It  flows  from  every  streaming  wound, — 
Whose  power  our  inbred  sin  controls, 
Breaks  the  firm  bond,  and  frees  our  souls. 

3  When  thou  didst  hang  upon  the  tree, 
The  quaking  earth  acknowledged  thee; 
When  thou  didst  there  yield  up  thy  breath, 
The  world  grew  dark  as  shades  of  death. 

4  Now  in  the  Father's  glory  high, 
Great  Conqueror  1  never  more  to  die, 
Us  by  thy  mighty  power  defend. 
And  reign  through  ages  without  end.

The  King  of  Glory 
I   Our  Lord  is  risen  from  the  dead  ;  3  Who  is  the  King  of  glory  —  who  ? 

Our  Jesus  is  gone  up  on  high  ;  The  Lord,  who  all  our  foes  o'ercame  ; 

Lift  up  your  heads,  ye  heavenly  gates,       Who  sin,  and  death,  and  hell  o'erthrew ; 

Ye  everlasting  doors,  give  way.  And  Jesus  is  the  Conqueror's  name. 


2  Loose  all  your  bars  of  massy  light, 
And  wide  unfold  th'  ethereal  scene  : 

He  claims  these  mansions  as  his  right. 
Receive  the  King  of  glory  in.

Abide  with  us ;  the  evening  shades 

Begin  already  to  prevail ; 
And,  as  the  lingering  twilight  fades, 

Dark  clouds  along  the  horizon  sail. 

Abide  with  us  \,  and  still  unfold 
Thy  sacred,  thy  prophetic  lore  ; 

What  wondrous  things  of  Jesus  told  1 
Stranger,  we  thirst,  we  pant  for  more. 

Abide  with  us  ;  our  hearts  are  cold  ; 

We  thought  that  Israel  he'd  restore ; 
But  sweet  the  truths  thy  lips  have  told, 

And,  stranger,  we  complain  no  more. 

Abide  with  us  :  amazed  they  cry. 
As,  suddenly,  while  breaking  bread. 

Their  own  lost  Jesus  meets  their  eye, 
With  radiant  glory  on  his  head.

Such  proofs  of  love  divine. 
Had  I  a  thousand  hearts  to  give,

Joseph  Stbnnett,  d.  1713 


The  Precious  Name 


1  How  sweet  the  name  of  Jesus  sounds 

In  a  believer's  ear  1 
It  soothes  his  sorrows,  heals  his  wounds, 
And  drives  away  his  fear. 

2  Ii  makes  the  wounded  spirit  whole. 

And  calms  the  troubled  breast ; 
'Tis  manna  to  the  hungry  soul, 
And  to  the  weary  rest 


3  Weak  is  the  effort  of  my  heart, 

And  cold  my  warmest  thought; 
But  when  I  see  thee  as  thou  art, 
I'll  praise  thee  as  I  ought. 

4  Till  then  I  would  thy  love  proclaim, 

With  every  fleeting  breath  ; 
And  may  the  music  of  thy  name. 
Refresh  my  soul  in  death.

/  Have  Prayed  for  Thee 


I  I  know  that  my  Redeemer  lives, 
And  ever  prays  for  me  ; 
A  token  of  his  love  he  gives, 
A  pledge  of  liberty. 

3  I  find  him  lifting  up  my  head  ; 
He  brings  salvation  near  : 
His  presence  makes  me  free  indeed, 
And  he  will  soon  appear. 

©OXOlOgg     (  Concluded  ) 


3  He  wills  that  I  should  holy  be  : 

What  can  withstand  his  will  ? 
The  counsel  of  his  grace  in  me 
He  surely  shall  fulfil. 

4  Jesus,  I  hang  upon  thy  word  ; 

I  steadfastly  believe 
Thou  wilt  return,  and  claim  me,  Lord, 
And  to  thyself  receive.

Plunged  in  a  gulf  of  dark  despair. 
We  wretched  sinners  lay, 

Without  one  cheerful  beam  of  hope, 
Or  spark  of  glimmering  day. 


With  pitying  eyes  the  Prince  of  grace 

Beheld  our  helpless  grief ; 
He  saw,  and — oh,  amazing  love  1 — 

He  ran  to  our  relief.

With  joyful  haste  he  fled, 
Entered  the  grave  in  mortal  flesh, 
And  dwelt  among  the  dead.

He  Careth  for  Me 


Yes,  for  me,  for  me  he  careth 

With  a  brother's  tender  care  ; 
Yes,  with  me,  with  me  he  shareth 

Every  burden,  every  fear. 
Yes,  in  me  abroad  he  sheddeth 

Joys  unearthly,  love  and  light; 
And  to  cover  me  he  spreadeth 

His  love-brooding  wing  of  might. 


Yes,  in  me,  in  me  he  dwelleth  ; 

I  in  him,  and  he  in  me ; 
And  my  empty  soul  he  filleth, 

Here  and  through  eternity. 
Thus  I  wait  for  his  returning, 

Singing  all  the  way  to  heaven ; 
Such  the  joyful  song  of  morning, 

Such  the  tranquil  song  of  even. 


HORATIUS  BONAR

Christ  the  True  Friend 


One  there  is,  above  all  others, 

Well  deserves  the  name  of  Friend ; 
His  is  love  beyond  a  brother's — 

Costly,  free,  and  knows  no  end. 
Which  of  all  our  friends,  to  save  us, 

Could  or  would  have  shed  his  blood  ? 
But  our  Jesus  died  to  have  us 

Reconciled  in  him  to  God. 


When  he  lived  on  earth  abased. 

Friend  of  Sinners  was  his  name  ; 
Now,  above  all  glory  raised. 

He  rejoices  in  the  same. 
O  for  grace  our  hearts  to  soften ! 

Teach  us,  Lord,  at  length  to  love ; 
We,  alas  !  forget  too  often 

What  a  Friend  we  have  above.

Christ  Precious 


Jesus !  I  love  thy  charming  name, 

'Tis  music  to  mine  ear, 
Fain  would  I  sound  it  out  so  loud. 

That  earth  and  heaven  should  hear. 


All  my  capacious  powers  can  wish, 
In  thee  doth  richly  meet ; 

Nor  to  mine  eyes  is  life  so  dear, 
Nor  friendship  half  so  sweet. 


2  Yes,  thou  art  precious  to  my  soul, 
My  Transport  and  my  Trust ; 
Jewels  to  thee  are  gaudy  toys, 
And  gold  is  sordid  dust. 


"S 


Thy  grace  still  dwells  upon  my  heart, 
And  sheds  its  fragrance  there ; 

The  noblest  balm  of  all  its  wounds, 
The  cordial  of  its  care.

7%^  Saviotcr's  Mission 


O,  let  your  mingling  voices  rise 
In  grateful  rapture  to  the  skies, 

And  hail  a  Saviour's  birth : 
Let  songs  of  joy  the  day  proclaim 
When  Jesus  all-triumphant  came 

To  bless  the  sons  of  earth  1 


He  came  to  bid  the  weary  rest, 

To  heal  the  sinner's  wounded  breast, 

To  bind  the  broken  heart ; 
To  spread  the  light  of  truth  around, 
And  to  the  world's  remotest  bound 

The  heavenly  gift  impart. 


He  came  our  trembling  souls  to  save 
From  sin,  from  sorrow,  and  the  grave. 

And  chase  our  fears  away ; 
Victorious  o'er  death  and  time, 
To  lead  us  to  a  happier  clime, 

Where  reigns  eternal  day.

With  ardent  wish  my  heart  aspires, 

Can  it  be  less  than  power  divine 
That  animates  these  strong  desires  ?

I  love  my  God  and  taste  his  grace.

Forever  dwell,  O  God  of  love.

Whose  pow'r  and  grace  are  unconfined.  The  mysteries  of  redeeming  love, 

Dispel  the  gloomy  shades  of  night,  The  emptiness  of  things  below,

Spread,  like  the  sun,  thy  beams  abroad. 

To  show  the  dangers  of  thy  way,

Our  danger,  and  our  refuge  too.

Thy  cheering  words  awake  our  joys  ; 
Thy  words  allay  the  stormy  wind, 

And  calm  the  surges  of  the  mind.

Raise  us  from  our  fallen  state ; 
Fix  thy  everlasting  home 

In  the  hearts  thou  didst  create.

On  our  spirits  sweetly  move  ; 
Open  every  mouth  to  sing 
Jesus'  everlasting  love.

No  other  can  its  place  supply ; 

It  points  me  to  the  saints'  abode, 

And  lifts  my  joyful  thoughts  on  high. 

2  Blest  Book,  in  thee  my  eyes  discern 
The  image  of  my  absent  Lord ; 


From  thine  instructive  page  I  learn 
The  joys  his  presence  will  afford. 

3  But  while  I'm  hear,  thou  shalt  supply 
His  place,  and  tell  me  of  his  love  ; 

I'll  read  with  faith's  discerning  eye, 
And  thus  partake  of  joys  above.

Comfort  from  the  Bible 


1  Lord,  I  have  made  thy  word  my  choice. 

My  lasting  heritage; 
There  shall  my  noblest  powers  rejoice, 
My  warmest  thoughts  engage. 

2  I'll  read  the  histories  of  thy  love, 

And  keep  thy  laws  in  sight, 
While  through  the  promises  I  rove 
With  ever  fresh  delight. 


3  'Tis  a  broad  land  of  wealth  unknown, 

Where  springs  of  life  arise. 
Seeds  of  immortal  bliss  are  sown, 
And  hidden  glory  lies. 

4  The  best  relief  that  mourners  have, 

It  makes  our  sorrows  blest, 
Our  fairest  hope  beyond  the  grave, 
And  our  eternal  rest. 

Isaac  Watt.

1  Father  of  mercies,  in  thy  word 

What  endless  glory  shines  I 
Forever  be  thy  name  adored 
For  these  celestial  lines. 

2  'Tis  here  the  tree  of  knowledge  grows, 

And  yields  a  free  repast ; 
Here  purer  sweets  than  nature  knows 
Invite  the  longing  taste. 

3  Here  my  Redeemer's  welcome  voice 

Spreads  heavenly  peace  around  ; 
And  life  and  everlasting  joys 
Attend  the  blissful  sound. 

4  Oh,  may  these  heavenly  pages  be 

My  ever  dear  delight; 
And  still  new  beauties  may  I  see, 
And  still  increasing  light

The  Saviour's  Invitation 


I  The  Saviour  calls ;  let  every  ear 
Attend  the  heav'nly  sound  ; 
Ye  doubting  souls,  dismiss  your  fear; 
Hope  smiles  reviving  round. 


3  Ye  sinners,  come — 'tis  mercy's  voice ; 
That  gracious  voice  obey  ; 
'Tis  Jesus  calls  to  heavenly  joys  : 
And  can  you  yet  delay  ? 


5  For  every  thirsty,  longing  heart 
Here  streams  of  bounty  flow. 
And  life,  and  health,  and  bliss  impart, 
To  banish  mortal  woe. 


4  Dear  Saviour,  draw  reluctant  hearts  ; 
To  thee  let  sinners  fly, 
And  take  the  bliss  thy  love  imparts, 
And  drink,  and  never  die.

The  Spirit's  Call 
Say,  sinner !  hath  a  voice  within 

Oft  whispered  to  thy  secret  soul, 
Urged  thee  to  leave  the  ways  of  sin, 

And  yield  thy  heart  to  God's  control? 

Sinner !  it  was  a  heavenly  voice, — 
It  was  the  Spirit's  gracious  call ; 

It  bade  thee  make  the  better  choice. 
And  haste  to  seek  in  Christ  thine  all. 

God's  Spirit  will  not  always  strive 
With  hardened,  self-destroying  man  ; 

Ye  who  persist  his  love  to  grieve, 
May  never  hear  his  voice  again. 

Sinner  1  perhaps,  this  very  day. 
Thy  last  accepted  time  may  be  ; 

Oh  1  shouldst  thou  grieve  him  now  away, 
Then  hope  may  never  beam  on  thee.

comes  on, 
And  many  a  shining  hour  is  gone  ; 
The  storm  is  gathering  in  the  west, 
And  thou  far  off  from  home  and  rest.

The  rains  descend,  the  winds  are  high  ; 
The  waters  swell,  and  death  and  fear 
Beset  thy  path  —  no  refuge  near. 


3  Haste,  while  a  shelter  you  may  gain, 
A  covert  from  the  wind  and  rain, 

A  hiding-place,  a  rest,  a  home, 
A  refuge  from  the  wrath  to  come. 

4  Then  linger  not  in  all  the  plain  , 
Flee  for  thy  life  —  the  mountain  gain  ; 
Look  not  behind  —  make  no  delay  :

Peace  that  ever  shall  endure, 
Rest  eternal,  sacred,  sure. 


267  The  Prodigal  Son 

I   Brother,  hast  thou  wandered  far  3  Is  a  mighty  famine  now 


From  thy  Father's  happy  home. 
With  thyself  and  God  at  war  ? 

Turn  thee,  brother,  homeward  come. 


In  thy  heart  and  in  thy  soul  ? 
Discontent  upon  thy  brow  ? 

Turn  thee,  God  will  make  thee  whole. 


2  Hast  thou  wasted  all  the  powers 
God  for  noble  uses  gave? 

Squandered  life's  most  noble  hours  ? 
Turn  thee,  brother,  God  can  save. 


4  Fall  before  him  on  the  ground  ; 

Pour  thy  sorrow  in  his  ear ; 
Seek  him  while  he  may  be  found  ; 

Call  upon  him  ;  he  is  near.

1  Sinners,  will  you  slight  the  message 

Sent  in  mercy  from  above  ? 

Every  sentence,  O,  how  tender  I 

Every  line  how  full  of  love  I 

Heavenly  accents, 
Full  of  strength,  and  peace,  and  love. 

2  Tempted  souls,  they  bring  you  succor  ; 

Fearful  hearts,  they  quell  your  fears  ; 
And  with  deepest  consolation, 


Calls  of  the  Spirit 


Chase  away  the  falling  tears; 

Tender  Heralds, 
Blessed  he  their  word  who  hears. 

Holy  Angels,  hovering  round  us, 
Waiting  spirits,  speed  your  way, 

Hasten  to  the  court  of  heaven, 
Tidings  bear  without  delay  : 

Ransomed  sinners 
Glad  the  message  will  obey.

The  Desert  Shall  Blossom 


See,  from  Zion's  sacred  mountain 

Streams  of  living  water  flow  ; 
God  has  opened  there  a  fountain 

That  suppUes  the  world  below  ; 
They  are  blessed 

Who  its  sovereign  virtues  know. 
Through  ten  thousand  channels  flowing 

Streams  of  mercy  find  their  way, 
Life,  and  health,  and  joy  bestowing, 


Waking  beauty  from  decay ; 

O  ye  nations, 
Hail  the  long-expected  day. 
Gladdened  by  the  flowing  treasure, 

All-enriching  as  it  goes, 
Lo,  the  desert  smiles  with  pleasure. 
Buds  and  blossoms  as  the  rose ; 

Every  object 
Sings  for  joy  where'er  it  flows.

Come  unto  Me 


LowBLL  Mason 


Come  un  -  to  me  when  shadows  dark-ly  gath-er.When  the  sad  heart  is  wea-ry  and  distress'd, 
Ye  who  have  mourn'd  when  the  spring  flow'rs  were  taken,  When  the  ripe  fruit  fell  rich-ly  to  the  ground, 
Large  are  the  mansions  in  thy  Father's  dwelling,Glad  are  the  homes  that  sorrows  never  dim ; 
There,  like  an    E-den  blossoming  in  gladness,Bloom  the  fair  flow'rs  the  earth  too  rudely  press'd :

The  Stubborn  Heart 

1  O,  for  a  glance  of  heavenly  day, 
To  take  this  stubborn  heart  away  ; 
And  thaw,  with  beams  of  love  divine, 
This  heart,  this  frozen  heart  of  mine. 

2  The  rocks  can  rend;  the  earth  can  quake; 
The  seas  can  roar  ;  the  mountains  shake : 
Of  feeling,  all  things  show  some  sign 

But  this  unfeeling  heart  of  mine. 

3  To  hear  the  sorrows  thou  hast  felt, 
O  Lord,  an  adamant  would  melt: 
But  I  can  read  each  moving  line, 
And  nothing  moves  this  heart  of  mine. 

4  But  power  divine  can  do  the  deed  ; 
And,  Lord,  that  power  I  greatly  need  ; 
Thy  Spirit  can  from  dross  refine. 

And  melt  and  change  this  heart  of  mine.

Let  a  repenting  rebel  live ; 

Are  not  thy  mercies  large  and  free  ? 
May  not  a  sinner  trust  in  thee  ? 

2  My  crimes,  though  great,  do  not  surpass 
The  power  and  glory  of  thy  grace ; 
Great  God,  thy  nature  hath  no  bound, 
So  let  thy  pardoning  love  be  found. 

3  Oh,  wash  my  soul  from  every  sin, 
And  make  my  guilty  conscience  clean  ; 
Here  on  my  heart  the  burden  lies, 
And  past  offences  pain  mine  eyes. 

4  Yet  save  a  trembling  sinner,  Lord, 
Whose  hope,  still  hovering  round  thy  word. 
Would  light  on  some  sweet  promise  there, 
Some  sure  support  against  despair.

I   In  all  my  Lord's  appointed  ways,  3  Through  duty,  and  through  trials  too, 
My  journey  I'll  pursue  ;  I'll  go  at  his  command  : 

Hinder  me  not, —  ye  much-loved  saints,  Hinder  me  not,  for  I  am  bound 
For  I  must  go  with  you.  To  my  Immanuel's  land. 


2  Thro'  floods  and  flames,  if  Jesus  leads,  4  And  when  my  Saviour  calls  me  home, 
I'll  follow  where  he  goes  ,  Still  this  my  cry  shall  be, — 

Hinder  me  not  I  —  shall  be  my  cry,  Hinder  me  not, —  Come  I  welcome  death, 

Though  earth  and  hell  oppose.  I'll  gladly  go  with  thee.

Power  of 
I   Faith  adds  new  charms  to  earthly  bliss, 

And  saves  us  from  its  snares  ; 
It  yields  support  in  all  our  toils, 

And  softens  all  our  cares. 
The  wounded  conscience  knows  its  power, 

The  healing  balm  to  give  ; 
That  balm  the  saddest  heart  can  cheer. 

And  make  the  dying  live. 


FAITH 

Faith 
2  Wide  it  unveils  the  heavenly  world, 

Where  endless  pleasures  reign  ; 
It  bids  us  seek  our  portion  there. 

Nor  bids  us  seek  in  vain. 
There,  still  unshaken,  would  we  rest, 

Till  this  frail  body  dies, 
And  then,  on  faith's  triumphant  wing, 

To  endless  glory  rise.

jj"*"^  Faith  without 

1  As  body  when  the  soul  has  tied. 
As  barren  trees  decayed  and  dead. 
Is  faith  —  a  hopeless,  lifeless  thing. 
If  not  of  righteous  deeds  the  spring. 

2  One  cup  of  healing  oil  and  wine, 
One  tear-drop  shed  on  mercy's  shrine. 
Is  thrice  more  grateful.  Lord,  to  thee. 
Than  lifted  eye  or  bended  knee. 


Works  is  Dead 

3  In  true  and  heaven-born  faith,we  trace 
The  source  of  every  Christian  grace  ; 
Within  the  pious  heart  it  plays — 

A  living  fount  of  joy  and  praise. 

4  Kind  deeds  of  peace  and  love  betray 
Where'er  the  stream  has  found  its  way ; 
But  where  these  spring  not  rich  and  fair. 
The  stream  has  never  wandered  there.

Following  After  God 


I  O  God,  thou  art  my  God  alone  ; 

Early  to  thee  my  soul  shall  cry, 
A  pilgrim  in  a  land  unknown, 

A  thirsty  land,  whose  springs  are  dry. 


Thy  presence  makes  the  darkness  light, 
Thy  guardian  wings  are  round  my  head. 


4  Better  than  life  itself  thy  love, 
Dearer  than  all  beside  to  me ; 
2  Yet,through  this  rough  and  thorny  maze,  For  whom  have  I  in  heaven  above, 


I  follow  hard  on  thee,  my  God ; 
Thine  hand  unseen  upholds  my  ways  ; 
I  lean  upon  thy  staff  and  rod. 

3  Thee,  in  the  watches  of  the  night, 
When  I  remember  on  my  bed, 


Or  what  on  earth,  compared  with  thee  ? 

5  Praise  with  my  heart,my  mind,my  voice, 
For  all  thy  mercy,  I  will  give  ; 

My  soul  shall  still  in  God  rejoice  ; 

My  tongue  shall  bless  thee  while  I  live.

I   He  sendeth  sun,  he  sendeth  shower; 
Alike  they're  needful  for  the  flower; 
And  joys  and  tears  alike  are  sent 
To  give  the  soul  fit  nourishment : 
As  comes  to  me  or  cloud  or  sun, 
Father,  thy  will,  not  mine,  be  done. 


T/iy   Will  be  Done 


2  Can  loving  children  e'er  reprove 
With  murmers  whom  they  trust  and  love? 
Creator,  I  would  ever  be 
A  trusting,  loving  child  to  thee. 
As  comes  to  me  or  cloud  or  sun, 
Father,  thy  will,  not  mine,  be  done.

Down  from  the  willows  take  : 
Loud  to  the  praise  of  love  divine 
Bid  every  string  awake. 


Our  Salvation  Near 

4  When  we  in  darkness  walk, 
Nor  feel  the  heavenly  flame, 
Then  is  the  time  to  trust  our  God, 
And  rest  upon  his  name. 


2  Though  in  a  foreign  land, 

We  are  not  far  from  home  ; 
And  nearer  to  our  house  above 
We  every  moment  come. 

3  His  grace  will  to  the  end 

Stronger  and  brighter  shine  ; 
Nor  present  things,nor  things  to  come. 
Shall  quench  the  spark  divine. 


5  Soon  shall  our  doubts  and  fears 

Subside  at  his  control ; 
Hisloving-kindness  shall  breakthrough 
The  midnight  of  the  soul. 

6  Blest  is  the  man,  O  Lord, 

Who  stays  himself  on  thee  ; 
Who  waits  for  thy  salvation,  Lord, 
Shall  thy  salvation  see.

Delight  in  God 


O  Lord  1  I  would  delight  in  thee, 

And  on  thy  care  depend  ; 
To  thee  in  every  trouble  flee, 

My  best,  my  only  Friend  ! 
When  all  created  streams  are  dried, 

Thy  fullness  is  the  same  ; 
May  I  with  this  be  satisfied, 

And  glory  in  thy  name. 


3  Oh  I  that  I  had  a  stronger  faith, 

To  look  within  the  veil, 
To  credit  what  my  Saviour  saith, 
Whose  word  can  never  fail. 

4  O  Lord  1  I  cast  my  care  on  thee  ; 

I  triumph  and  adore  ; 
Henceforth  my  great  concern  shall  be, 
To  love  and  praise  thee  more.

Visit  us  with  thy  salvation, 

Enter  every  longing  heart. 


176 


Breathe,  oh,  breathe  thy  loving  Spirit 

Into  every  troubled  breast ; 
Let  us  all  in  thee  inherit, 

Let  us  find  thy  promised  rest. 
Come,  almighty  to  deliver, 

Let  us  all  thy  life  receive  ; 
Graciously  come  down,  and  never, 

Never  more  thy  temples  leave.

A  Prayer  for  Faith 


1  I  ask  not  wealth,  but  power  to  take 
And  use  the  things  I  have  aright ; 

Not  years,  but  wisdom  that  shall  make 
My  life  a  profit  and  delight. 

2  I  ask  not  that  for  me  the  plan 
Of  good  and  ill  be  set  aside, 

But  that  the  common  lot  of  man 
Be  nobly  borne  and  glorified. 


3  I  know  I  may  not  always  keep 

My  steps  in  places  green  and  sweet, 
Nor  find  the  pathway  of  the  deep 
A  path  of  safety  to  my  feet ; 

4  But  pray  that, when  the  tempest's  breath 
Shall  fiercely  sweep  my  way  about, 

I  make  not  shipwreck  of  my  faith 
In  the  unfathomed  sea  of  doubt.

1  How  blest  the  sacred  tie  that  binds, 
In  union  sweet,  according  minds  I 
How  swift  the  heavenly  course  they  run, 
Whose  hearts  and  faith  and  hopes  are  one. 

2  To  each,  the  soul  of  each  how  dear! 
What  jealous  love,  what  holy  fear  I 
How  doth  the  generous  flame  within 
Refine  from  earth  and  cleanse  from  sin  ! 


Christian  Fellowship 


3  In  glad  accord  they  seek  the  place 
Where  God  reveals  hi,s  gracious  face : 
How    high,  how  strong,  their    raptures 

swell, 
There's  none  but  kindred  souls  can  tell. 

4  Nor  shall  the  flowing  flame  expire 
When  droops  at  length  frail  nature's  fire  ; 
For  they  shall  meet  in  realms  above, — 
A  heaven  of  joy,  because  of  love. 

Anna  L.  Barbauld 


1  Who  shall  ascend  the  heavenly  place. 
Great  God,  and  dwell  before  thy  face  ? 
The  man  who  minds  religion  now, — 
And  humbly  walks  with  God  below. 

2  Whose  hands  are  pure,  whose  heart  is 

clean,  [mean  ; 

Whose    lips  still    speak  the  things  they 
No  slanders  dwell  upon  his  tongue ; 
He  hates  to  do  his  neighbor  wrong. 


Who  Shall  Dwell  in   Thy  Holy  Hill 


180 


3  He  loves  his  enemies  and  prays 
For  those  who  curse  him  to  his  face. 
And  does  to  all  men  still  the  same 
That  he  would  hope  or  wish  from  them. 

4  Yet  when  his  holiest  works  are  done, 
His  soul  depends  on  grace  alone  : 
This  is  the  man  thy  face  shall  see. 
And  dwell  forever.  Lord,  with  Thee.

Charity  Thinketh  no  Evil 


1  Think  gently  of  the  erring  one. 

And  let  us  not  forget, 
However  darkly  stained  by  sin, 
He  is  our  brother  yet. 

2  Heir  of  the  same  inheritance. 

Child  of  the  self-same  God, 
He  hath  but  stumbled  in  that  path 
We  have  in  weakness  trod. 


3  Speak  gently  to  the  erring  one  : 

Thou  yet  mayst  lead  him  back, 
With  holy  words  and  tones  of  love, 
From  misery's  thorny  track. 

4  Forget  not  thou  hast  often  sinned, 

And  sinful  yet  mayst  be  : 
Deal  gently  with  the  erring  one. 
As  God  hath  dealt  with  thee.

Longing  After  God 


1  I  ask  not  now  for  gold  to  gild 
An  aching,  weary  frame  ; 

The  yearning  of  the  mind  is  stilled, — 
I  ask  not  now  for  fame. 

2  But,  bowed  in  lowliness  of  mind, 
I  make  my  wishes  known  ; 


184 


I  only  ask  a  will  resigned, 
O  Father,  to  thine  own. 

3  And  now  my  spirit  sighs  for  home. 
And  longs  for  light  to  see. 

And,  like  a  weary  child,  would  come, 
O  Father,  unto  thee.

1  All  nature  feels  attractive  power,  3 

A  strong,  embracing  force  ; 
The  drops  that  sparkle  in  the  shower, 
The  planets  in  their  course. 

2  In  this  fine,  sympathetic  chain  4 

All  creatures  bear  a  part ; 
Their  every  pleasure,  every  pain, 
Linked  to  a  feeling  heart.

Sympathy 

More  perfect  bond,  the  Christian  plan 

Attaches  soul  to  soul ; 
Our  neighbor  is  the  suffering  man, 

Though  at  the  farthest  pole. 

To  earth  below,  from  heaven  above. 
The  faith  in  Christ  professed 

More  clear  reveals  that  God  is  love, 
And  whom  he  loves  is  blest.

QC^  The  New  Commandment 

1  With  love  the  Saviour's  heart  o'erflowed;  3  In  every  action,  every  thought. 
Love  spoke  in  every  breath ; 

Supreme  it  reigned,  throughout  his  life, 
And  triumphed  in  his  death. 

2  Behold,  this  new  command  he  gives 
To  those  who  bear  his  name, — 

That  they  shall  one  another  love, 
As  he  hath  loved  them. 


A-MEN. 


Be  this  great  thought  fulfilled  ; 
Forgotten  be  each  selfish  aim, 
Each  angry  passion  stilled. 

4  Let  all  who  bear  the  name  of  Christ, 
While  they  his  sufferings  view, 

Think  of  his  words,  "Each  other  love, 
As  I  have  loved  you." 


Anon.

The  Bond  of  Love 


1  Ben-eath  the  shadow  of  the  cross, 
As  earthly  hopes  remove. 

His  new  commandment  Jesus  gives, — 
His  blessed  word  of  love. 

2  O  bond  of  union,  strong  and  deep  ; 
O  bond  of  perfect  peace  I 


Not  e'en  the  lifted  cross  can  harm 
If  we  but  hold  to  this. 

3  Then,  Jesus,  be  thy  Spirit  ours  ; 

And  swift  our  feet  shall  move 
To  deeds  of  pure  self-sacrifice, 

And  the  sweet  tasks  of  love.

Ye  Have  the  Poor  Always  with    You 


1  Lord,  lead  the  way  the  Saviour  went, 

By  lane  and  cell  obscure, 
And  let  our  treasures  still  be  spent. 
Like  his,  upon  the  poor. 

2  Like  him,   through    scenes   of    deep 

distress. 
Who  bore  the  world's  sad  weight, 
We,  in  their  gloomy  loneliness, 
Would  seek  the  desolate. 


3  For  thou  hast  placed  us  side  by  side 

In  this  wide  world  of  ill ; 
And,  that  thy  followers  may  be  tried. 
The  poor  are  with  us  still. 

4  Small  are  the  offerings  we  can  make  ; 

Yet  thou  hast  taught  us,  Lord, 
If  given  for  the  Saviour's  sake, 
They  lose  not  their  reward.

How  Good  to  D^vell  in    Unity 


I   Blest  are  the  sons  of  peace, 

Whose  hearts  and  hopes  are  one ; 
Whose  kind  desires  to  serve  and  please 
Through  all  their  actions  run. 


3  From  those  celestial  springs 
Such  streams  of  comfort  flow, 
As  no  increase  of  riches  brings, 
No  honors  can  bestow. 


2  Blest  is  the  pious  house  4  Thus,  on  the  heavenly  hills, 

Where  zeal  and  friendship  meet ;  The  saints  are  blest  above, 

Their  songs  of  praise,  their  mingled  vows,     Where  joy  like  morning  dew  distils, 
Make  their  communion  sweet.  And  all  the  air  is  love.

Call  to  duty  stern  and  high.

With  a  trusting,  loving  heart, 
Let  us  in  life's  earnest  labor 
Still  be  sure  to  do  our  part.

Lest,  before  to-morrow's  sun, 
We  too,  mournfully  departing, 

Shall  have  left  our  work  undone.

2.  Why  should  my  pas  -sions  mix  with  earth,  And  thus    de  -  base  my  heav'n  -ly  birth  ?

I  Jesus,  my  all,  to  heaven  is  gone — 
He  whom  I  fix  my  hopes  upon  ; 
His  track  I  see,  and  I'll  pursue 
The  narrow  way  till  him  I  view. 


The  way  the  holy  prophets  went, 
The  road  that  leads  from  banishment. 
The  King's  highway  of  holiness, 
I'll  go,  for  all  his  paths  are  peace. 


The  Highway  of  Holiness 


3  This  is  the  way  I  long  have  sought, 
And  mourned  because  I  found  it  not. 
Till  late  I  heard  my  Saviour  say, 
Come  hither,  soul ;  I  am  the  way. 

4  Lo,  glad  I    come;    and    thou  blest 

Lamb, 
Shalt  take  me  to  thee  as  I  am  ; 
Nothing  but  sin  have  I  to  give. 
Nothing  but  love  shall  I  receive.

The  Hour  of  Prayer 


My  God,  is  any  hour  so  sweet, 

From   blush    of    morn    to    evening 
star, 

As  that  which  calls  me  to  thy  feet, 
The  calm  and  holy  hour  of  prayer  ? 

Blest  is  the  tranquil  break  of  morn, 
And  blest  the  hush  of  solemn  eve, 

When  on  the  wings  of  prayer  up-borne, 
This   fair,    but    transient,    world    I 
leave. 

Then  is  my  strength  by  thee  renewed  ; 
Then  are  my  sins  by  thee  forgiven  ; 


Then  dost  thou  cheer  my  solitude, 
With  clear  and  beauteous  hopes  of 
heav'n. 

No  words  can  tell  what  sweet  relief, 
There  for  my  every  want,  I  find  ; 

What   strength  for  warfare,  balm  for 

grief,  [mind  I 

What   deep    and  cheerful  peace  of 

Lord,  till  I  reach  the  blissful  shore. 
No  privilege  so  dear  shall  be. 

As  thus  my  inmost  soul  to  pour 
In  faithful  filial  prayer  to  thee  1

Rooting  out  the  seeds  of  sin ; 

4  Nothing  more  can  we  require. 

We  can  rest  in  nothing  less ; 
Be  thou  all  our  hearts'  desire, 
All  our  joy  and  all  our  peace.

Life  in   God 


I   Father,  we  look  up  to  thee ; 
Let  us  in  thy  love  agree  : 
Thou  who  art  the  God  of  peace, 
Bid  contention  ever  cease. 


3  Let  us  for  each  other  care, 
Each  the  other's  burden  bear ; 
Ready,  when  reviled,  to  bless ; 
Studious  of  the  law  of  peace. 


2  Make  us  of  one  heart  and  mind. 
Self-forgetful,  true,  and  kind  ; 
Strong ;  yet  meek  in  thought  and  word. 
Like  thy  Son,  our  blessed  Lord  I 


4  Free  from  anger,  free  from  pride, 
Let  us  thus  in  thee  abide ; 
All  the  depths  of  love  express, — 
All  the  heights  of  holiness.

Let  This  Mind  be  in    You    Which  was  in  Christ 


1  Father  of  eternal  grace. 

Glorify  thyself  in  me  : 
Meekly  beaming  in  my  face 
May  the  world  thine  image  see. 

2  Humble,  holy,  all  resigned 

To  thy  will  —  thy  will  be  done :

Matt. 

1  Come,  my  soul,  thy  suit  prepare, 
Jesus  loves  to  answer  prayer  ; 
He  himself  has  bid  thee  pray, 
Therefore  will  not  say  thee  nay. 

2  Lord  !  I  come  to  thee  for  rest. 
Take  possession  of  my  breast ; 
There,  thy  sovereign  right  maintain, 
And,  without  a  rival,  reign. 


Give  me.  Lord,  the  perfect  mind 
Of  thy  well-beloved  Son. 

3  Counting  gain  and  glory  loss, 

May  I  tread  the  path  he  trod — 
Die  with  Jesus  on  the  cross, 
Rise  with  him  to  thee,  my  God. 

Jambs  Montgomery 
7:  7 

3  While  I  am  a  pilgrim  here. 
Let  thy  love  my  spirit  cheer  ; 
Be  my  Guide,  my  Guard,  my  Friend, 
Lead  me  to  my  journey's  en^. 

.  Show  me  what  I  have  to  do, 
Every  hour  my  strength  renew ; 
Let  me  live  a  life  of  faith. 
Let  me  die  thy  people's  death.

Desires  for  Holiness 


1  O,  could  I  find,  from  day  to  day, 
A  nearness  to  my  God, 

Then  would  my  hours  glide  sweet  away 
While  leaning  on  his  word. 

2  Lord,  I  desire  with  thee  to  live 
Anew  from  day  to  day. 

In  joys  the  world  can  never  give. 
Nor  ever  take  away. 


3  O  Father,  come  and  rule  my  heart, 
And  make  me  wholly  thine, 

That  I  may  never  more  depart, 
Nor  grieve  thy  love  divine. 

4  Thus,  till  my  last  expiring  breath. 
Thy  goodness  I'll  adore ; 

And,  when  my  frame  dissolves  in  death, 
My  soul  shall  love  thee  more.

Divine  Help 


O  gracious  God,  in  whom  I  live, 

My  feeble  efforts  aid  ; 
Help  me  to  watch,  and  pray,  and  strive. 

Though  trembling  and  afraid. 
Increase  my  faith,  increase  my  hope, 

When  foes  and  fears  prevail; 


And  bear  my  fainting  spirit  up, 
Or  soon  my  strength  will  fail. 

Oh  keep  me  in  thy  heavenly  way. 
And  bid  the  tempter  flee; 

And  let  me  never,  never  stray 
From  happiness  and  thee.

Father  in  heaven,  to  thee  my  heart

And  show  thy  presence  there. 
Oh,  help  me  break  the  galling  chains 

This  world  has  round  me  thrown.

Each  passion  of  my  heart  subdue, 
Each  darling  sin  disown  1

In  thine  almighty  name.

O  For  a  Closer   Walk 


1  O  for  a  closer  walk  with  God, 

A  calm  and  heavenly  frame, — 
A  light  to  shine  upon  the  road 
That  leads  me  to  the  Lamb  1 

2  Where  is  the  blessedness  I  knew 

When  first  I  saw  the  Lord  ? 
Where  is  the  soul-refreshing  view 
Of  Jesus  and  his  word  ? 


4  Return,  O  holy  Dove,  return, 

Sweet  messenger  of  rest  I 
I  hate  the  sins  that  made  thee  mourn, 
And  drove  thee  from  my  breast. 

5  The  dearest  idol  I  have  known, 

Whate'er  that  idol  be, 
Help  me  to  tear  it  from  thy  throne, 
And  worship  only  thee. 


What  peaceful  hours  I  once  enjoyed  1     6 
How  sweet  their  memory  still  I 

But  they  have  left  an  aching  void 
The  world  can  never  fill. 

?o8 


So  shall  my  walk  be  close  with  God,

Prayer  for  Grace  in  Trial 


Father  of  all  our  mercies,  thou 
In  whom  we  move  and  live, 

Hear  us  in  heaven,  thy  dwelling,  now, 
And  answer  and  forgive. 


3  When  dire  temptations  gather  round, 
And  threaten  or  allure, 
By  storm  or  calm,  in  thee  be  found, 
A  refuge  strong  and  sure. 


2  When,  harassed  by  ten  thousand  foes,    4  When  age  advances,  may  we  grow 


Our  helplessness  we  feel, 

Oh  give  the  weary  soul  repose, 

The  wounded  spirit  heal  I 


In  faith  and  hope  and  love, 
And  walk  in  holiness  below 
To  holiness  above  I

And  let  that  will  be  mine.  When  in  thy  service  spent.

Whate'er  I  have  I  owe; 

And  back  in  gratitude  from  me 
May  all  thy  bounties  flow.

Shall  I  arraign  thy  will  ? 
No,  let  me  bless  thy  name,  and  say,

Did  Not  Our  Hearts  Burn  within  Us 


I   Hath  not  thy  heart  within  thee  burned  3  Father  of  Jesus,  thus  thy  voice 

At  evening's  calm  and  holy  hour,  Speaks  to  our  hearts  in  tones  divine  ; 

As  if  its  inmost  depths  discerned  Our  spirits  tremble  and  rejoice. 

The  presence  of  a  loftier  power  ?  But  know  not  that  the  voice  is  thine. 


2  As  they,  who  once  with  Jesus  trod,  4  Still  be  thy  hallowed  accents  near ; 


With  kindling    breast  his  accents 
heard, 
But  knew  not  that  the  Son  of  God 
Was  uttering  every  burning  word, — 


To  doubt  and  passion  whisper  peace ; 
Direct  us  on  our  journey  here. 
And  bid,  in  heaven,  our  wanderings 
cease.

1  There's  not  a  hope  with  comfort  fraught, 

Triumphant  over  death  and  time, 
But  Jesus  mingles  in  the  thought, 
Forerunner  of  our  course  sublime. 

2  I  see  him  in  the  daily  round 

Of  social  duty,  mild  and  meek  ; 
With  him  I  tread  the  hallowed  ground, 
Communion  with  my  God  to  seek. 

3  I  meet  him  at  the  lowly  tomb  ; 

I  weep  where  Jesus  wept  before  ; 
And  there  above  the  grave's  dark  gloom, 
I  see  him  rise  and  weep  no  more.

The  sun  gone  down, 
Darkness  be  over  me, 

My  rest  a  stone, 
Yet,  in  my  dreams,  I'd  be 
Nearer,  my  God,  to  thee, — 

Nearer  to  thee. 


4  Then,  with  my  waking  thoughts 
Bright  with  thy  praise, 
Out  of  my  stony  griefs 

Bethel  I'll  raise; 
So  by  my  woes  to  be 
Nearer,  my  God,  to  thee, — 
Nearer  to  thee. 


3  There  let  the  way  appear, 
Steps  up  to  heaven  ; 
All  that  thou  sendest  me 

In  mercy  given  ; 
Angels  to  beckon  me 
Nearer,  my  God,  to  thee, — 
Nearer  to  thee. 


5  Or  if,  on  joyful  wing, 

Cleaving  the  sky, 
Sun,  moon,  and  stars  forgot, 

Upward  I  fly, 
Still  all  my  song  shall  be, 
Nearer,  my  God,  to  thee, — 

Nearer  to  thee.

Blessed  are  the  Pure  in  Heart 


1  Blest  are  the  pure  in  heart, 

For  they  shall  see  their  God  ; 
The  secret  of  the  Lord  is  theirs; 
Their  soul  is  Christ's  abode. 

2  The  Lord,  who  left  the  heavens, 

Our  life  and  peace  to  bring, 
To  dwell  in  lowliness  with  men, 
Their  pattern  and  their  King,- 


3  He  to  the  lowly  soul 

Doth  still  himself  impart, 
And  for  his  dwelling,  and  his  throne, 
Chooseth  the  pure  in  heart. 

4  Lord,  we  thy  presence  seek  ; 

May  ours  this  blessing  be  ; 
O  give  the  pure  and  lowly  heart, — 
A  temple  meet  for  thee.

1.  When  I      survey     the   won  -   drous  "cross,  On    which  the  Prince  of  glo    -   ry      died, 

2.  For-  bid    it,  Lord,  that     I        should  boast.  Save  in      the  death  of  Christ,  my  Lord  ; 

3.  See  !  from  his  head,  his   hands,  his       feet.     Sorrow     and  love    flow  min  -  gled  down  1 

4.  Were  the  whole  realm  of  na    -  ture    mine,  That  were  an    of  -  f'ring  far         too  small ; 


My  rich-est  gain    I       count  but  loss,     And  pour  contempt  on  all    my     pride. 

All  the   vain  things  that  charm  me  most,    I      sac  -  ri  -  fice  them  to   his     blood. 

Did  e'er  such  love  and  sor  -  row  meet,  Or  thorns  compose  so  rich    a      crown  ? 

Love  so    a-  maz  ing,       so     di  -  vine.     Demands  my  soul,  my  life,  my     all.     A  -  men.

/  Will  Love   What  God  Will  Speak 


Speak  with  us,  Lord  ;  thyself  reveal, 

While  here  on  earth  we  rove  ; 
Speak  to  our  hearts,  and  let  us  feel 

The  kindlings  of  thy  love. 
With  thee  conversing,  we  forget 

All  toil,  and  time,  and  care ; 
Labor  is  rest,  and  pain  is  sweet, 

If  thou  art  present  there. 


Here  then,  my  God,  be  pleased  to  stay, 

And  bid  my  heart  rejoice  ; 
My  bounding  heart  shall  own  thy  sway. 

And  echo  to  thy  voice. 
Thou  callest  me  to  seek  thy  face  ; 

Thy  face,  O  God,  I  seek, 
Attend  the  whispers  of  thy  grace 

And  hear  thee  only  speak,

Before  the  Cross 


1  Sweet  the  moments,  rich  in  blessing. 
Which  before  the  cross  I  spend, 

Life,  and  heahh,  and  peace  possessing. 
From  the  sinner's  dying  Friend. 

2  Truly  blessed  is  this  station, 
Low  before  his  cross  to  lie, 

While  I  see  divine  compassion 
Beaming  in  his  gracious  eye. 


3  Love  and  grief  my  heart  dividing, 
With  my  tears  his  feet  I'll  bathe; 

Constant  still,  in  faith  abiding, 
Life  deriving  from  his  death. 

4  May  I  still  enjoy  this  feeling, 
Still  to  my  Redeemer  go, 

Prove  his  wounds  each  day  more  healing, 
And  himself  more  truly  know.

Something  still  to  do  or  bear. 
Think  what  Spirit  dwells  within  thee  : 

Think  what  Father's  smiles  are  thine 
Think  that  Jesus  died  to  win  thee  : 

Child  of  heaven,  canst  thou  repine  ? 


COURAGE  AND  ACTION 


Haste  thee  on  from  grace  to  glory, 

Armed  by  faith, and  winged  by  prayer, 
Heaven's  eternal  day's  before  thee  : 

God's  own  hand  shall  guide  thee  there. 
Soon  shall  close  thy  earthly  mission, 

Soon  shall  pass  thy  pilgrim  days, 
Hope  shall  change  to  glad  fruition, 

Faith  to  sight,  and  prayer  to  praise.

Abide  not  in  the  realm  of  dreams, 
O  man,  however  fair  it  seems  ; 
But  with  clear  eye  the  present  scan. 
And  hear  the  call  of  God  and  man. 


Think  not  in  sleep  to  fold  thy  hands, 
Forgetful  of  thy  Lord's  commands  ; 


The  Harvest  Call 

From  duty's  claims  no  life  is  free, — 
Behold  to-day  hath  need  of  thee  ! 

The  present  hour  allots  thy  task  : 
For  present  strength  and  patience  ask, 
And  trust  his  love  whose  sure  supplies 
Meet  all  thy  needs  as  they  arise.

And  step  by  step,  since  time  began, 
We  see  the  steady  gain  of  man. 

2  That  all  of  good  the  past  hath  had 
Remains  to  make  our  own  time  glad. 
Our  common,  daily  life  divine, 
And  every  land  a  Palestine. 


Thro'  clouds  of  doubt,  and  creeds  of  fear, 
A  light  is  breaking  calm  and  clear. 

4  Henceforth  my  heart  shall  sigh  no  more 
For  olden  time  and  holier  shore ; 
God's  love  and  blessing,  then  and  there, 
Are  now  and  here  and  everywhere. 


J.  G.  Whittikr 


I  Press  on,  press  onl  ye  sons  of  light, 
Untiring  in  your  holy  fight, 
Still  treading  each  temptation  down, 
And  battling  for  a  brighter  crown. 


Press  on 


And  make  each  dark  and  threatening  ill 
Yield  but  a  higher  glory  still. 

3  Press  on,  press  on!  still  look  in  faith 
To  him  who  conquereth  sin  and  death, 


2  Press  on,press  on!  through  toil  and  woe.  Then  shall  ye  hear  his  word,  "Well  done!" 
With  calm  resolve,  to  triumph  go  ;  True  to  the  last,  press  on,  press  on  1

No  longer  stand  ye  idle  here.

Why  Stand  Ye  All  the  Day  Idle 

3  And  ye,  whose  locks  of  scanty  gray 
Foretell  your  latest  travail  near, 

How  swiftly  fades  your  worthless  day ; 
And  stand  ye  yet  so  idle  here  ? 

4  O  thou,  by  all  thy  works  adored, 
To  whom  the  sinner's  soul  is  dear, 

Recall  us  to  thy  vineyard,  Lord, 

And  grant  us  grace  to  please  thee  here.

1  The  Christian  warrior, —  see  him  stand 
In  the  whole  armor  of  his  God  ! 

The  Spirit's  sword  is  in  his  hand, 
His  feet  are  with  the  gospel  shod  ; 

2  In  panoply  of  truth  complete, 
Salvation's  helmet  on  his  head. 


With  righteousness,  a  breastplate  meet, 
And  faith's  broad  shield  before  him 
spread  : . 

3  With  this  omnipotence  he  moves. 
From  this  the  alien  armies  flee ; 

Till  more  than  conqueror  he  proves, 
Through  God  who  gives  him  victory.

Working  with    God 


Workman  of  God,  O  lose  not  heart, 
But  learn  what  God  is  like  1 

And,  in  the  darkest  battle-field. 
Thou  shalt  know  where  to  strike. 


.  And  best  is  he  who  can  divine 
Where  real  right  doth  lie, 
And  dares  to  take  the  side  that  seems 
Wrong  to  man's  blindfold  eye. 

For  right  is  right,  since  God  is  God, 
And  right  the  day  must  win  ; 

To  doubt  it  is  disloyalty  ; 
To  falter  is  to  sin.

I   As  pants  the  hart  for  cooling  streams,    3  Why  restless,  why  cast  down,  my  soul  ? 


O,  blest  is  he  to  whom  is  given 
The  instinct  that  can  tell 

That  God  is  on  the  field,  when  he 
Is  most  invisible  ! 


When  heated  in  the  chase. 
So  longs  my  soul,  O  God,  for  thee, 
And  thy  refreshing  grace. 

For  thee,  my  God,  the  living  God, 
My  thirsty  soul  doth  pine ; 

O,  when  shall  I  behold  thy  face. 
Thou  Majesty  divine  ? 


Trust  God,  and  he'll  employ 
His  aid  for  thee,  and  change  these  sighs 
To  thankful  hymns  of  joy. 

4  Why  restless,  why  cast  down,  my  soul  ? 
Hope  still,  and  thou  shalt  sing 
The  praise  of  Him  who  is  thy  God, 
Thy  health's  eternal  Spring.

Not  as  One  that  Beateth  the  Air 


1  My  soul,  weigh  not  thy  life 

Against  thy  heavenly  crown, 
Nor  suffer  Satan's  deadliest  strife 
To  beat  thy  courage  down. 

2  With  prayer  and  crying  strong, 

Hold  on  the  fearful  fight ; 
And  let  the  breaking  day  prolong 
The  wrestling  of  the  night. 


3  The  battle  soon  will  yield. 

If  thou  thy  part  fulfil ; 
For,  strong  as  is  the  hostile  shield, 
Thy  sword  is  stronger  still. 

4  Thine  armor  is  divine, 

Thy  feet  with  victory  shod, 
And  on  thy  head  shall  quickly  shine 
The  diadem  of  God.

In  the  Morning  Sow  Thy  Seed 


Sow  in  the  morn  thy  seed ; 

At  eve  hold  not  thy  hand  ; 
To  doubt  and  fear  give  thou  no  heed  ; 

Broadcast  it  o'er  the  land  1 

Beside  all  waters  sow, 

The  highway  furrows  stock, 

Drop  it  where  thorns  and  thistles  grow. 
Scatter  it  on  the  rock. 


Thou  canst  not  toil  in  vain  ; 

Cold,  heat,  the  moist  and  dry, 
Shall  foster  and  mature  the  grain 

For  garners  in  the  sky. 

Then,  when  the  glorious  end. 
The  day  of  God  shall  come, 

The  angel-reapers  shall  descend, 
And  heaven  sing,  "  Harvest  home  1"

Captain  of  Our  Salvation 


O,  when  shall  I  see  Jesus, 

And  reign  with  him  above  ; 
And  from  that  flowing  fountain 

Drink  everlasting  love  ? 
When  shall  I  be  delivered 

From  this  vain  world  of  sin, 
And  with  my  blessed  Jesus 

Drink  endless  pleasures  in  ? 

But  now  I  am  a  soldier, 
My  Captain's  gone  before  ; 

He's  given  me  my  orders, 
And  bid  me  not  give  o'er. 


If  I  continue  faithful, 

A  righteous  crown  he'll  give, 
And  all  his  valiant  soldiers 

Eternal  life  shall  have. 

Thro'  grace  I  am  determined 

To. conquer  though  I  die, 
And  then  away  to  Jesus, 

On  wings  of  love  I'll  fly, 
Farewell  to  sin  and  sorrow, 

I  bid  you  all  adieu  ; 
And  O,  my  friends,  prove  faithful. 

And  on  your  way  pursue.

Strength  in  Temptation 


Holy  Father,  thou  hast  taught  me 

I  should  live  to  thee  alone  ;  [me 

Year  by  year,  thy  hand  hath  brought 

On  through  dangers  oft  unknown. 
When  I  wandered,  thou  hast  found  me; 

When  I  doubted,  sent  me  light ; 
Still  thine  arm  has  been  around  me, 

And  my  paths  were  in  thy  sight. 


2   I  would  trust  in  thy  protecting, 

Wholly  rest  upon  thine  arm, 
Follow  wholly  thy  directing, 

Thou  mine  only  guard  from  harm : 
Keep  me  from  mine  own  undoing, 

Help  me  turn  to  thee  when  tried ; 
Still  my  footsteps,  Father,  viewing, 

Keep  me  ever  at  thy  side.

Ills  have  no  weight,  and  tears  no  bitterness  : 
Where  is  Death's  sting  ?  where,  Grave,  thy  victory  ?

Shine  through  the  gloom,  and  point  me  to  the  skies  ; 
Heaven's  morning  breaks,  and  earth's  vain  shadows  flee : 
In  life,  in  death,  O  Lord,  abide  with  me  I

I  My  God,  I  thank  thee  ;  may  no  thought  3  Full  many  a  throb  of  grief  and  pain 
E'er  deem  thy  chastisement  severe  ;  Thy  frail  and  erring  child  must  know ; 

But  may  this  heart,  by  sorrow  taught,  But  not  one  prayer  is  breathed  in  vain, 
Calm  each  wild  wish,  each  idle  fear.  Nor  does  one  tear  unheeded  flow. 


2  Thy  mercy  bids  all  nature  bloom  ; 

The  sun  shines  bright,  and  man  is  gay; 
Thine  equal  mercy  spreads  the  gloom 

That  darkens  o'er  his  little  day. 


HmeS     (  Concluded  ) 


4  Thy  various  messengers  employ  ; 

Thy  purposes  of  love  fulfil ; 
And  'mid  the  wreck  of  human  joy, 

Let  kneeling  faith  adore  thy  will. 

Andrews  Norton 


Be  thou  my  strength.be  thou  my  way  ;  Pro-tect  me  through  my  life's  short  day. 
Tear  ev -'ry  i  -  dol  from  thy  throD8,And  reign, my  Father,  reign  a  -  lone.

1  Thy  will,  not  mine,  O  Lord, 

However  dark  it  be  1 
Lead  me  by  thine  own  hand, 

Choose  out  the  path  for  me. 
I  dare  not  choose  my  lot : 

I  would  not  if  I  might ; 
Choose  thou  for  me,  my  God, 

So  shall  I  walk  aright. 

2  The  kingdom  that  I  seek 

Is  thine  ;  so  let  the  way 
That  leads  to  it  be  truly  thine, 
Else  I  must  surely  stray. 


AFFLICTION  AND  COMFORT 


Take  thou  my  cup,  and  it 

With  joy  or  sorrow  fill. 
As  best  to  thee  may  seem ; 

Choose  thou  my  good  and  ill. 

Choose  thou  for  me  my  friends, 

My  sickness  or  my  health  ; 
Choose  thou  my  cares  for  me, 

My  poverty  or  wealth. 
Not  mine,  not  mine  the  choice, 

In  things  or  great  or  small ; 
Be  thou  my  Guide,  my  Strength, 

My  Wisdom  and  my  All.

1  Christleads  me  through  no  darker  rooms  3  Then  I  shall  end  my  sad  complaints; 
Than  he  went  through  before  ;  And  weary,  sinful  days  ; 

No  one  into  his  kingdom  comes  And  join  with  those  triumphant  saints 

But  through  his  opened  door.  That  sing  Jehovah's  praise.

"^^^^  The  eye  of  faith  is  dim  :

For,  if  thy  work  on  earth  be  sweet,  And  I  shall  be  with  him. 
What  must  thy  glory  be  ?

My  Times  are  in  Thy  Hands 


1  My  times  of  sorrow  and  of  joy. 
Great  God,  are  in  thy  hand  ; 

My  choicest  comforts  come  from  thee. 
And  go  at  thy  command. 

2  If  thou  shouldst  take  them  all  away, 
Yet  would  I  not  repine  ; 


Before  they  were  possessed  by  me, 

They  were  entirely  thine. 
3   Nor  would  I  drop  a  murmuring  word 

Though  all  the  world  were  gone, 
But  seek  enduring  happiness 

In  thee,  and  thee  alone.

From  the  German 


Zifit  up    Your  Heads,  Ye  Gates 


Samuel  Stanley,  1820 


481 


Joy  Cometh  in  the  Morning 


O,  deem  not  they  are  blest  alone 

Whose  lives  a  peaceful  tenor  keep: 
For  God,  who  pities  man,  has  shown 

A  blessing  for  the  eyes  that  weep. 
The  light  of  smiles  shall  fill  again 

The  lids  that  overflow  with  tears  ; 
And  weary  hours  of  woe  and  pain 

Are  promises  of  happier  years. 


There  is  a  day  of  sunny  rest 

For  every  dark  and  troubled  night; 
And  grief  may  bide  an  evening  guest, 

But  joy  shall  come  with  early  light. 
For  God  has  marked  each  sorrowing  day, 

And  numbered  every  secret  tear  ; 
And  heaven's  long  age  of  bliss  shall  pay 

For  aU  his  children  suffer  here.

Begotten    Us  unto  a  Lively  Hope 


1  How  happy  every  child  of  grace, 

Who  knows  his  sins  forgiven  1 
This  earth,  he  cries,  is  not  my  place ; 
I  seek  my  home  in  heaven  ; — 

2  A  country  far  from  mortal  sight, 

Yet,  O,  by  faith  I  see 
The  land  of  rest,  the  saints'  delight, 
The  heaven  prepared  for  me. 


3  We  feel  the  resurrection  near, 

Our  life  in  Christ  concealed, 
And  with  his  glorious  presence  here 
Our  earthen  vessels  filled. 

4  On  him  with  rapture  then  I'll  gaze, 

Who  bought  the  bliss  for  me. 
And  shout  and  wonder  at  his  grace 
Through  all  eternity.

Sweet  Prospects 


When  languor  and  disease  invade 
This  trembling  house  of  clay, 

'Tis  sweet  to  look  beyond  my  pain, 
And  long  to  fly  away  ;  — 

Sweet  to  look  inward,  and  attend 
The  whispers  of  his  love; 

Sweet  to  look  upward  to  the  place 
Where  Jesus  pleads  above  ;  — 


488 


Sweet,  in  the  confidence  of  faith, 
To  trust  his  firm  decrees  ; 

Sweet  to  lie  passive  in  his  hands. 
And  know  no  will  but  his. 

Sweet  to  rejoice  in  lively  hope, 

That,  when  my  change  shall  come, 

Angels  will  hover  round  my  bed, 
And  waft  my  spirit  home. 

Augustus  M.  Toplady 


All  My  Springs  are  in  Thee 


My  God  1  the  spring  of  all  my  joys. 

The  life  of  my  delights, 
The  glory  of  my  brightest  days, 

And  comfort  of  my  nights  I 

In  darkest  shades,  if  thou  appear. 

My  dawning  is  begun  ; 
Thou  art  my  soul's  bright  morning  star, 

And  thou  my  rising  sun. 


The  opening  heavens  around  me  shine 
With  beams  of  sacred  bliss. 

While  Jesus  shows  his  love  is  mine, 
And  whispers  I  am  his. 

My  soul  would  leave  this  heavy  clay 

At  that  transporting  word, 
Run  up  with  joy  the  shining  way. 

To  embrace  my  dearest  Lord.

Peace  as  a  River 


1  We  bless  thee  for  thy  peace,  O  God, 

Deep  as  the  soundless  sea, 
Which  falls  like  sunshine  on  the  road 
Of  those  who  trust  in  thee. 

2  We  ask  not,  Father,  for  repose 

Which  comes  from  outward  rest, 
If  we  may  have,  through  all  life's  woes, 
Thy  peace  within  our  breast. 

3  That  peace  which  suffers  and  is  strong. 

Trusts  where  it  cannot  see, 


Deems  not  the  trial  way  too  long. 
But  leaves  the  end  with  thee  ; — 

4  That  peace  which    flows    serene    and 

deep, — 
A  river  in  the  soul. 
Whose  banks  a  living  verdure  keep, 
God's  sunshine  o'er  the  whole  ; — 

5  Such,    Father,    give    our    hearts    such 

peace, 
Whate'er  the  outward  be, 
Till  all  life's  discipline  shall  cease. 
And  we  go  home  to  thee.

I    How  rich  the  blessings,  O  my  God,  3   Though  sorrow's  cloud  awhile  o'ercast 

Which  teach  this  greatful  heart  to  glow  ?  The  dawn  of  earthly  hope  and  joy, 

How  kindly  poured,  and  free  bestowed,  She  knows  that  it  must  soon  be  past, 

The  rivers  of  thy  mercy  flow  1  And  will  unveil  eternity. 


2  How  calmly  rolls  the  sea  of  life  1 
Secure  in  thy  immortal  trust, 

The  soul  has  hushed  her  secret  strife, 
Nor  longer  shudders  at  the  dust. 


4  Then  virtue's  humble  toil  and  prayer 
Shall  stand  acknowledged  atthy  throne, 

Triumphant  over  earthly  care, 

And  the  blest  record  thou  wilt  own.

Hymn  of  Trust 


I   O  Love  divine,  that  stooped  to  share 
Our  sharpest  pang,  our  bitterest  tear, 

On  thee  we  cast  each  earth-born  care ; 
We  smile  at  pain  while  thou  art  near. 


3  When  drooping  pleasure  turns  to  grief, 
And  trembling  faith  is  changed  to  fear. 

The  murmuring  wind,  the  quivering  leaf, 
Shall  softly  tell  us.  Thou  art  near. 


2   Though  long  the  weary  way  we  tread,    4  On  thee  we  fling  our  burdening  woe. 
And  sorrow  crown  each  lingering  year,        O  love  divine,  forever  dear. 

No  path  we  shun,  no  darkness  dread.  Content  to  suffer,  while  we  know, 

Our heartsstilIwhispering,Thouart  near.     Living  and  dying,  thou  art  near.

And  tuneful  notes  employ  ; 
Jerusalem  breaks  forth  in  songs, 
And  deserts  learn  the  joy.

C  I  '2  Dedication 

I   O  thou,  whose  own  vast  temple  stands 
Built  over  earth  and  sea, 
Accept  the  walls  that  human  hands 
Have  raised  to  worship  thee. 


Lord,  from  thine  inmost  glory  send, 
Within  these  courts  to  bide. 


The  peace  that  dwelleth,  without  end, 
Serenely  by  thy  side. 

May  faith  grow  firm,  and  love  grow 
warm, 

And  pure  devotion  rise,  [storm 

While  round  these  hallowed  walls  the 

Of  earth-born  passion  dies.

Dedication 


1  Lord,  in  thy  presence  we  appear, 
With  willing  hands  and  hearts  sincere 
To  consecrate  beneath  the  skies, 

An  altar  for  thy  sacrifice, 

2  The  universe  is  thine,  O  God, 
Eternity  thy  vast  abode  ; 

Then  what  is  man  that  he  should  be 
The  builder  of  a  house  for  thee  ? 


3  But  though  thy  temple  is  all  space, 
The  heaven  of  heavens  thy  dwelling-place, 
Yet  wilt  thou  deign,  Almighty  God, 

To  make  this  building  thine  abode. 

4  Here,  where  thy  waiting  children  meet 
Fix  thou,  O  Lord,  thy  mercy-seat ; 

And  in  this  temple  we  have  raised, 
O  let  thy  gracious  name  be  praised.

Buried  with  Him  by  Baptism 


Come,  Holy  Spirit,  Dove  divine, 
On  these  baptismal  waters  shine. 
And  teach  our  hearts,  in  highest  strain. 
To  praise  the  Lamb,  for  sinners  slain. 
We  sink  beneath  the  mystic  flood ; 
O,  bathe  us  in  thy  cleansing  blood  ; 


526 


IReOemption    l.  m. 


We  die  to  sin,  and  seek  a  grave, 
With  thee,  beneath  the  yielding  wave, 
3  And  as  we  rise  with  thee  to  live, 
O,  let  the  Holy  Spirit  give 
The  sealing  unction  from  above, 
The  breath  of  life,  the  fire  of  love.

1  Witness,  ye  men  and  angels,  now  ; 

Before  the  Lord  we  speak ; 
To  him  we  make  our  solemn  vow, 
A  vow  we  dare  not  break : — 

2  That,  long  as  life  itself  shall  last, 

Ourselves  to  Christ  we  yield  ; 
Nor  from  his  cause  will  we  depart, 
Or  ever  quit  the  field. 


We  trust  not  in  our  native  strength, 

But  on  his  grace  rely. 
That,  with  returning  wants,  the  Lord 

Will  all  our  need  supply. 

O,  guide  our  doubtful  feet  aright. 

And  keep  us  in  thy  ways, 
And,  while  we  turn  our  vows  to  prayers, 

Turn  thou  our  prayers  to  praise. 

Benjamin  Beddomk

Fellowship  of  Heaven  and  Earth 


Happy  the  souls  to  Jesus  joined, 
And  saved  by  grace  alone : 

Walking  in  all  his  ways,  they  find 
Their  heaven  on  earth  begun. 

The  church  triumphant  in  thy  love, 
Their  mighty  joys  we  know  : 


They  sing  the  lamb  in  hymns  above. 
And  we  in  hymns  below. 

Thee  in  thy  glorious  realm  they  praise 
And  bow  before  thy  throne  : 

We  in  the  kingdom  of  thy  grace : 
The  kingdoms  are  but  one.

1  Buried  beneath  the  yielding  wave 

The  great  Redeemer  Hes  ; 
Faith  views  him  in  the  watery  grave, 
And  thence  beholds  him  rise. 

2  Thus  do  his  willing  saints,  to-day, 

Their  ardent  zeal  express, 


Fulfil  All  Righteousness 


And,  in  the  Lord's  appointed  way, 
Fulfil  all  righteousness. 

With  joy  we  in  his  footsteps  tread. 
And  would  his  cause  maintain, — 

Like  him  be  numbered  with  the  dead. 
And  with  him  rise  and  reign. 

Benjamin  Beddome,  1818 


532 


Baptism  of  Jestis 


"I  come,"  the  great  Redeemer  cries, 

"To  do  thy  will,  O  Lord!" 
At  Jordan's  flood,  behold  !  he  seals 

The  sure  prophetic  word. 

"Thus  it  becomes  us  to  fulfil 
All  righteousness,"  he  said; 

He  spake  obedient,  and  beneath 
The  yielding  wave  was  laid. 

Hark  I  a  glad  voice  ;  the  Father  speaks, 
From  heaven's  exalted  height ; 


278 


"This  is  my  Son,  my  well-beloved  1 
My  joy,  my  chief  delight." 

Jesus,  the  Saviour,  well-beloved  I 

His  name  we  will  profess. 
Like  him,  desirous  to  fulfil 

Each  law  of  righteousness. 

No  more  we'll  count  ourselves  our  own, 

But  his  in  bonds  of  love  ; 
O  may  such  bonds  forever  draw 

Our  souls  to  things  above.

I   The  saints  on  earth  and  those  above 

But  one  communion  make  ; 
Joined  to  their  Lord  in  bonds  of  love, 

All  of  his  grace  partake. 

3   One  family,  we  dwell  in  him; 

One  church  above,  beneath; 
Though  now  divided  by  the  stream, 

The  narrow  stream  of  death. 


2   One  army  of  the  living  God, 

To  his  command  we  bow; 
Part  of  the  host  have  crossed  the  flood, 

And  part  are  crossing  now. 

4  O  God,  be  thou  our  constant  Guide; 

Then,  when  the  word  is  given, 
Bid  death's  cold  flood  its  waves  divide, 

And  land  us  safe  in  heaven. 

Charles  Wesley 


541 


I  Lord,  at  thy  table  I  behold 
The  wonders  of  thy  grace, 

But  most  of  all  admire  that  I 
Should  find  a  welcome  place. 


The  Lord's  Table 


My  Saviour  takes  me  by  the  hand, 
And  bids  me  freely  come. 


3  Ye  saints  below,  and  hosts  of  heaven, 
In  praise  join  all  your  powers  : 
2  What  strange,  surprising  grace  is  this,  No  theme  is  like  redeeming  love, 
That  such  a  soul  has  room  1  No  Saviour  is  like  ours.

Baptism 


Proclaim,  saith  Christ,  my  wondrous 
To  all  the  sons  of  men ;         [  grace, 

He  that  believes,  and  is  baptized. 
Salvation, shall  obtain. 

Let  plenteous  grace  descend  on  those, 
Who,  hoping  in  thy  word, 


C^d. ^  Let  This  Mi?id  be  in 

1  Ye  followers  of  the  Prince  of  Peace, 

Who  round  this  table  draw. 
Remember  what  his  spirit  was. 
What  his  peculiar  law. 

2  The  love  which  all  his  bosom  filled 

Did  all  his  actions  guide  ; 


This  day  have  publicly  declared, 

That  Jesus  is  their  Lord. 
With  cheerful  feet  may  they  advance, 

And  run  the  Christian  race ; 
And  through  the  troubles  of  the  way, 

Find  all-sufficient  grace. 


John  Newton 


You    Which  was  in  Christ 


Inspired  by  love,  he  lived  and  taught; 

Inspired  by  love,  he  died. 
Let  each  the  sacred  law  fulfil; 

Like  his  be  every  mind ; 
Be  every  temper  formed  by  love, 

And  every  action  kind.

C  C  J  Delight  in  the  Commujiion 

I   O,  what  delight  is  this,  3  The  Lamb  for  sinners  slain, 

Which  now  in  Christ  we  know, —  Who  died  to  die  no  more, 

An  earnest  of  our  glorious  bliss.  Let  all  the  ransomed  sons  of  men, 
Our  heaven  begun  below.  With  all  his  hosts,  adore. 


2  When  he  the  table  spreads, 
How  royal  is  the  cheer  ! 
With  rapture  we  lift  up  our  heads, 
And  own  that  God  is  here. 


4  Let  earth  and  heaven  be  joined, 
His  glories  to  display, 
And  hymn  the  Saviour  of  mankind 
In  one  eternal  day. 


Charles  Wbsley 


1  Let  party  names  no  more 

The  Christian  world  o'erspread  ; 
Gentile  and  Jew,  and  bond  and  free 
Are  one  in  Christ,  their  Head. 

2  Among  the  saints  on  earth 

Let  mutual  love  be  found — 


For    Ye  are  All  0?ie  in   Christ  Jesus 

Heirs  of  the  same  inheritance. 
With  mutual  blessings  crowned. 

Thus  will  the  church  below 
Resemble  that  above. 

Where  springs  of  purest  pleasure  rise. 
And  every  heart  is  love.

The   Universal  Bond  of  Love 


The  glorious  universe  around, 
The  heavens  with  all  their  train, 

Sun,  moon,  and  stars,  are  firmly  bound, 
In  one  mysterious  chain. 

In  one  fraternal  bond  of  love, 
One  fellowship  of  mind, 


The  saints  below  and  saints  above 
Their  bliss  and  glory  find. 

3   Here,  in  their  house  of  pilgrimage, 
Thy  statutes  are  their  song ; 
There,  through  one  bright,  eternal  age, 
Thy  praises  they  prolong. 


HoRATIUS    BONAR

Of  One  Heart  and  of  One  Sonl 


Blest  be  the  dear,  uniting  love 
That  will  not  let  us  part ; 

Our  bodies  may  far-off  remove, 
We  still  are  one  in  heart. 

Joined  in  one  Spirit  to  our  Head, 
Where  he  appoints  we  go  : 


287 


We  still  in  Jesus'  footsteps  tread, 
And  show  his  praise  below. 

Partakers  of  the  Saviour's  grace, 
The  same  in  mind  and  heart. 

Not  joy,  nor  grief,  nor  time,  nor  place, 
Nor  life,  nor  death,  can  part.

'Tis  heaven  on  earth  begun.

And  all  its  moisture  drain.

Till  all  proclaim  thee  Lord. 

4  And  when  thou  mak'st  thy  jewels  up, 
And  sett'st  thy  starry  crown.

Proclaim  us,  Lord,  thine  own.

Great  God,  and  praise  becomes  thy  house 

There  shall  thy  saints  thy  glory  see, 
And  there  perform  their  public  vows. 

2  O  thou  whose  mercy  bends  the  skies 
To  save  when  humble  sinners  pray,

All  lands  to  thee  shall  lift  their  eyes,

3   Soon  shall  the  flocking  nations  run 
To  Zion's  hill  and  own  their  Lord ;

5/4  Departing  Missionaries 

2   Roll  on,  thou  mighty  ocean  ;  2  O  thou  eternal  Ruler, 

And,  as  thy  billows  flow, 
Bear  messengers  of  mercy 

To  every  land  below. 
Arise,  ye  gales,  and  waft  them 
Safe  to  the  destined  shore  ; 
That  man  may  sit  in  darkness, 
And  death's  black  shade  no  more. 


Who  holdest  in  thine  arm 
The  tempests  of  the  ocean, 

Protect  them  from  all  harm  ! 
Thy  presence,  Lord,  be  with  them. 

Wherever  they  may  be  ; 
Though  far  from  us,  who  love  them, 

Still  let  them  be  with  thee. 

Jambs  Edmbston

Psalm   y2 


Great  God  !  whose  universal  sway  3 

The  known  and  unknown  worlds  obey  ; 
Now  give  the  kingdom  to  thy  Son  ; 
Extend  his  power,  exalt  his  throne. 

As  rain  on  meadows  newly  mown,  4 

So  shall  he  send  his  infiuence  down  ; 
His  grace,  on  fainting  souls,  distills 
Like  heavenly  dew  on  thirsty  hills. 

(      299 


The  heathen  lands,  that  lie  beneath 
The  shades  of  overspreading  death, 
Revive  at  his  first  dawning  light, 
.And  deserts  blossom  at  the  sight. 

The  saints  shall  flourish  in  his  days, 
Dressed  in  the  robes  of  joy  and  praise  ; 
Peace,  like  a  river,  from  his  throne. 
Shall  flow  to  nations  yet  unknown.

Oh,  that  the  Lord's  salvation 

Were  out  of  Zion  come, 
To  heal  his  ancient  nation. 

To  lead  his  outcasts  home  I 
How  long  the  holy  city 

Shall  heathen  feet  profane  ? 
Return,  O  Lord,  in  pity, 

Rebuild  her  walls  again. 


Let  fall  thy  rod  of  terror, 

Thy  saving  grace  impart ; 
Roll  back  the  vail  of  error, 

Release  the  fettered  heart; 
Let  Israel,  home  returning. 

Their  lost  Messiah  see  ; 
Give  oil  of  joy  for  mourning, 

And  bind  thy  Church  to  thee.

1  Look  from  thy  sphere  of  endless  day, 
O  God  of  mercy  and  of  might  I 

In  pity  look  on  those  who  stray, 
Benighted  in  this  land  of  light. 

2  Send  forth  thy  heralds.  Lord,  to  call 
The  thoughtlessyoung,the  hardened  old, 

A  scattered,  homeless  flock,  till  all 
Be  gathered  to  thy  peaceful  fold. 


3  Send  them  thy  mighty  word  to  speak, 
Till  faith  shall  dawn,  and  doubt  depart, 

To  awe  the  bold,  to  stay  the  weak. 
And  bind  and  heal  the  broken  heart. 

4  Then  all  these  wastes,  a  dreary  scene, 
That  makes  us  sadden  as  we  gaze. 

Shall  grow  with  living  waters  green. 
And  lift  to  heaven  the  voice  of  praise.

City  Mission 


1  Go  messengers  of  peace  and  love, 

To  people  plunged  in  shades  of  night; 
Like  angels  sent  from  fields  above. 
Be  thme  to  shed  celestial  light. 

2  Go  to  the  hungry — food  impart ; 

lo  paths  of  peace  the  wanderer  guide; 


And  lead  the  thirsty,  panting  heart 
Where  streams  of  living  waters  glide. 

3   Thy  love  a  rich  reward  shall  find 
From  him  who  sits  enthroned  on  high; 

For  they  who  turn  the  erring  mind 
Shall  shine  like  stars  above  the  sky.

In  a  grand  and  awful  time, 
In  an  age  of  ages  telling : 

To  be  living  is  sublime. 
Hark  I  the  onset !  will  ye  fold  your 

Faith-clad  arms  in  lazy  lock  ? 
Up  I  O,  up  !  thou  drowsy  soldier ;

Thou  hast  but  an  hour  to  fight ; 
Now,  the  blazoned  cross  unfolding, 

On  I  right  onward  for  the  right. 
On  !  let  all  the  soul  within  you 

For  the  truth's  sake  go  abroad : 
Strike  !  let  every  nerve  and  sinew 

Tell  on  ages  —  tell  for  God.

God, And  next  to  leave  their  chil  -    dren  free. 


Their  care  was  first  to 

On      that   the  gifts  of     faith  were  laid.  In    this  their  pre-cious  hopes  were  reared. 

And    freedom's  sons  shall  fill    our   land  When  we  are  sleeping    in  the   dust.

Look  Not  upon  the 


Slavery  and  death  the  cup  contains  ; 

Dash  to  the  earth  the  poisoned  bowl ; 
Softer  than  silk  are  iron  chains, 

Compared  with  those  that  chafe  the 
soul. 
Hosannas,  Lord,  to  thee  we  sing, 

Whose  power  the  giant  fiend  obeys  ; 
What  countless  thousands  tribute  bring 

For    happier    homes     and    brighter 
days  1 


Thou  wilt  not  break  the  bruised  reed, 
Nor  leave  the  broken  heart  unbound: 

The  wife  regains  a  husband  freed, 
The  orphan  clasps  a  father  found. 

Spare,  Lord,  the  thoughtless,  guide  the 
blind, 

Till  man  no  more  shall  deem  it  just 
To  live  by  forging  chains  to  bind 

His  weaker  brother  in  the  dust.

592      (/nbarfner'5  Song) 


All  for  Christ 
With  my  substance  I  will  honor  2   Be  his  kingdom  now  promoted  ; 

My  Redeemer  and  my  Lord  ;  Let  the  earth  her  Monarch  know ; 

Were  ten  thousand  worlds  my  manor,         Be  my  all  to  him  devoted ; 


All  were  nothing  to  his  word. 
While  the  heralds  of  salvation 

His  abounding  grace  proclaim, 
Let  his  friends,  of  every  station, 

Gladly  join  to  spread  his  fame. 


To  my  Lord  my  all  I  owe. 
Praise  the  Saviour,  all  ye  nations  ; 

Praise  him,  all  ye  hosts  above  ; 
Shout,  with  joyful  acclamations, 

His  divine,  victorious  love.

God  bless  our  native  land  1 
Finn  may  she  ever  stand, 

Through  storm  and  night 
When  the  wild  tempests  rave, 
Ruler  of  wind  and  wave, 
Do  thou  our  country  save 

By  thy  great  might  1 


For  her  our  prayer  shall  rise 
To  God,  above  the  skies ; 

On  him  we  wait: 
Thou  who  art  ever  nigh. 
Guarding  with  watchful  eye, 
To  thee  aloud  we  cry, 

God  save  the  State  !

Thanksgiving  for  the  Faithful 


I   For  all  thy  gifts  we  praise  thes,  Lord,    3  The    monarch's   sword,    the   prelate's 


With  lifted  song  and  bended  knee  ; 
But  now  our  thanks  are  chiefly  poured 
For  those  who  taught  us  to  be  free. 

2  For  when  the  soul  lay  bound  below 
A  heavy  yoke  of  forms  and  creeds, 

And  none  thy  word  of  truth  could  know, 
O'ergrown  with  tares  and  choked  with 
weeds, — 


pride, 
The  church's  curse,  the  empire's  ban, 
By  one  poor  monk  were  all  defied, 
Who  never  feared  the  face  of  man. 

4  With  lifted  song  and  bended  knee, 
For  all  thy  gifts  we  praise  thee.  Lord ; 

But  chief  for  those  who  made  us  free  — 
The  champions  of  thy  holy  word.

O  God,  to  thee  our  hearts  would  pay 

Their  gratitude  sincere, 
Whose  love  hath  kept  us,  night  and  day 

Throughout  another  year. 

3  For  joy  and  grief  alike  we  pay 
Our  thanks  to  thee  above, 
And  only  pray  to  grow  each  day 
More  worthy  of  thy  love. 


Of  every  breath  and  every  power 
Thou  wast  the  gracious  Source  ; 

From  thee  came  every  happy  hour 
Which  smiled  along  its  course.

Seed-time  attd  Harvest 


I  Fountain  of  mercy,  God  of  love, 
How  rich  thy  bounties  are, 
The  rolling  seasons,  as  they  move, 
Proclaim  thy  constant  care. 


3  The  spring's  sweet  influence,  Lord  is 
The  plants  in  beauty  grow ;  [  thine  ; 
Thougiv'st  the  summer's  suns  to  shine, 
The  mild,  refreshing  dew. 


2  When  in  the  bosom  of  the  earth 
The  sower  hides  the  grain, 
Thy  goodness  marks  its  secret  birth. 
And  sends  the  early  rain. 


4  We  own  and  bless  thy  gracious  sway; 
Thy  hand  all  nature  hails; 
Seed-time  nor  harvest,  night  nor  day. 
Summer  nor  winter  fails.

And  let  their  number  be  complete  ; 
Then  let  the  flock  from  earth  remove, 
And  reach  the  heavenly  fold  above,

Early  Piety 


1  Hark  1  'tis  your  heavenly  Father's  call, 
How  soft  the  charming  accents  fall ; 
"Ask  and  receive,  my  son,"  he  cries. 
With  loving  heart  and  melting  eyes. 

2  Lord,  I  accept  thine  offered  grace, 
I  come  to  seek  my  Father's  face. 
Nor  will  he  turn  his  ear  away 

Who  taught  my  heart  and  lips  to  pray. 

3  One  thing  I  ask,  and  wilt  thou  hear, 
And  grant  my  soul  a  gift  so  dear  ? 


Wisdom,  descending  from  above. 
The  sweetest  token  of  thy  love  ; 

4  Wisdom  betimes  to  know  the  Lord, 
To  fear  his  name  and  keep  his  word  ; 
To  lead  my  feet  in  paths  of  truth, 

And  guide  and  guard  my  wanderingyouth. 

5  Then  shouldst  thou  grant  a  length  of 

days. 
My  life  shall  still  proclaim  thy  praise  ; 
Or  early  death  my  soul  convey 
To  realms  of  everlasting  day.

Happy  is  the  Mafi   That  Findeth    Wisdom 


O,  happy  is  the  man  who  hears 
Instruction's  warning  voice, 

And  who  celestial  wisdom  makes 
His  early,  only  choice. 

Wisdom  hath  treasures  greater  far 
Than  east  and  west  unfold. 

And  her  rewards  more  precious  are 
Than  all  the  gain  of  gold. 


626 


5  She  guides  the  young  with  innocence 
In  pleasure's  paths  to  tread  ; 
A  crown  of  glory  she  bestows 
Upon  the  hoary  head. 

\  According  as  her  labors  rise, 
So  her  rewards  increase  ; 
Her  ways  are  ways  of  pleasantness, 
And  all  her  paths  are  peace. 

Scotch  Paraphrases 

Early  Piety 


1  When  we  devote  our  youth  to  God, 

'Tis  pleasing  in  his  eyes  ; 
A  flower,  when  offered  in  the  bud, 
Is  no  vain  sacrifice. 

2  'Tis  easier  work  if  we  begin 

To  fear  the  Lord  betimes  ; 
For  sinners  who  grow  old  in  sin 
Are  hardened  in  their  crimes. 


It  saves  us  from  a  thousand  snares 

To  mind  religion  young; 
Grace  will  preserve  succeeding  years 

And  make  our  virtues  strong. 

To  thee,  almighty  God,  to  thee 
May  we  our  hearts  resign  ; 

'Twill  please  us  to  look  back  and  see 
That  our  whole  lives  were  thine. 

Isaac  Watts

Dear  Sav-iour,     if      these  lambs  should  stray  From  thy    se  -  cure        in  - 
Re-mem-ber   still     that    they     are    thine,That    thy  dear,     sa  -  cred 
In        all  their    err  -   ing,    sin   -  ful    years,     O,     let  them  ne'er     for 
And  when  these  lips     no    more    can    pray.  These  eyes  can  weep     for 


clo-  sure's  bound,

And,  lured  by  world  -  ly  joys    a  -  way,       Among  the    tho't-less    crowd  be  found, — 

Think  that  the  seal    of  love  di  -  vine,    The  sign  of       cov  - 'nant  grace,  they  wear.

The  Measure  of  My  Days 

Almighty  Maker  of  my  frame,  How  frail  at  best  is  dying  man  I 

Teach  me  the  measure  of  my  days  ;  How  vain  are  all  his  hopes  and  fears !, 

Teach  me  to  know  how  frail  I  am, 


And  spend  the  remnant  to  thy  praise. 


3  O,  spare  me,  and  my  strength  restore, 


My  days  are  shorter  than  a  span  ; 
A  little  point  my  life  appears  ; 


638 


Ere  my  few  hasty  minutes  flee ; 

And  when  my  days  on  earth  are  o'er, 

Let  me  forever  dwell  with  thee. 

Anne  Steele 

Let  My  Last  End  be  Like  His 


How  sweet  the  hour  of  closing  day. 
When  all  is  peaceful  and  serene, 
And  when  the  sun,  with  cloudless  ray. 
Sheds  mellow  lustre  o'er  the  scene  1 

I   Such  is  the  Christian's  parting  hour  ; 
So  peacefully  he  sinks  to  rest ; 


When  faith,  endued  from  heaven  with 
power  [  breast. 

Sustains     and    cheers    his    languid 
A  beam  from  heaven  is  sent  to  cheer 

The  pilgrim  on  his  gloomy  road ; 
And  angels  are  attending  near, 

To  bear  him  to  their  bright  abode.

Death  of  the  Righteous 


1  How  blest  the  righteous  when  he  dies ! 
When  sinks  a  weary  soul  to  rest  I 

How  mildly  beam  the  closing  eyes  ! 
How  gently  heaves  the  expiring  breast ! 

2  So  fades  a  summer  cloud  away, 

So  sinks  the  gale  when  storms  are  o'er, 
So  gently  shuts  the  eye  of  day, 
So  dies  a  wave  along  the  shore. 


3  A  holy  quiet  reigns  around, 

A  calm  which  life  nor  death  destroys  ; 
And    naught    disturbs  that  -peace   pro- 
found 
Which  his  unfettered  soul  enjoys. 

4  Triumphant  smiles  the  victor's  brow, 
Fanned  by  some  guardian  angel's  wing; 

O  grave,  where  is  thy  victory  now  ? 
And  where,  O  death,  where  is  thy  sting?

644  The  Flower 

1  As  the  sweet  flower  that   scents   the 

morn, 
But  withers  in  the  rising  day,  3 

Thus  lovely  was  this  infant's  dawn, 
Thus  swiftly  fled  its  life  away. 

2  It  died  ere  its  expanding  soul 

Had  ever  burned  with  wrong  desires, 

545  To  Die  is 

1  Why  should  we  start  and  fear  to  die  ?    3 

What  timorous  worms  we  mortals  arel 
Death  is  the  gate  of  endless  joy, 
And  yet  we  dread  to  enter  there. 

2  The  pains,  the  groans,  and  dying  strife  4 

Fright  our  approaching  souls  away ; 
We  still  shrink  back  again  to  life, 
Fond  of  our  prison  and  our  clay. 

337 


last    of      foes, 
ven-omed  sting! 
Sav-iour's  power, 
wake  to    weep.       A-  men. 


Fadeth 

Had  ever  spurned  at  Heaven's  control, 

Or  ever  quenched  its  sacred  fires. 
It  died  to  sin,  and  died  to  care ; 

But  for  a  moment  felt  the  rod  ; 
Then,  rising  on  the  viewless  air. 

Spread  its  light  wings  and  soared  to 


God. 


John  W.  Cunningham 


Gain 
O,  if  my  Lord  would  come  and  meet, 

My  soul  should  stretch  her  wings  in 
haste, 
Fly  fearless  through  death's  iron  gate, 

Nor  feel  the  terrors  as  she  passed. 
Jesus  can  make  a  dying  bed 

Feel  soft  as  downy  pillows  are, 
While  on  his  breast  I  lean  my  head. 

And  breathe  my  life  out  sweetly  there 

Isaac  Watts

Number  Our  Days 


Beneath  our  feet  and  o'er  our  head 

Is  equal  warning  given  ; 
Beneath  us  lie  the  countless  dead, 

Above  us  is  the  heaven. 


Death  rides  on  every  passing  breeze, 
And  lurks  in  every  flower ; 

Each  season  has  its  own  disease. 
Its  peril  every  hour. 


Turn,  mortal  turn  I  thy  soul  apply 

To  truths  divinely  given  ; 
The  dead,  who  underneath  thee  lie. 

Shall  live  for  hell  or  heaven  1

Death  of  the  Young 


1  When    blooming   youth    is    snatched 

away 
By  death's  resistless  hand, 
Our  hearts  the  mournful  tribute  pay 
Which  pity  must  demand. 

2  Let  this  vain  world  engage  no  more  : 

Behold  the  opening  tomb  : 
It  bids  us  seize  the  present  hour : 
Tomorrow  death  may  come. 


658 


3  O,  let  us  fly, —  to  Jesus  fly  1 

Whose  powerful  arm  can  save ; 
Then  shall  our  hopes  ascend  on  high, 
Apd  triumph  o'er  the  grave. 

4  Great  God,  thy  sovereign  grace  impart, 

With  cleansing,  healing  power ; 
This  only  can  prepare  the  heart 
For  death's  surprising  hour.

Of  everlasting  peace;

Home  of  my  soul !  how  near, 
At  times,  to  faith's  foreseeing  eye 

Thy  golden  gates  appear  I 
Yet  clouds  still  intervene, 

And  all  my  comfort  flies ; 
Like  Noah's  dove  I  flit  between 

Rough  seas  and  stormy  skies.

Anon  the  clouds  depart, 

The  winds  and  waters  cease  ; 
While  sweetly  o'er  my  gladdened  heart 

Expands  the  bow  of  peace. 
And  then  I  feel  that  he, — 

Remembered  or  forgot, — 
The  Lord  is  never  far  from  me, 

Though  I  preceive  him  not.

This  life  will  soon  be  gone  ;  The  passing  scenes  all  tell  us  That  death  will  surely  come; 
Blest  in  e  -  ter -nal  day:  But  we  are  in  the  ar  -  my, And  dare  not  leave  our  post ; 
And  sweetly  bids  us  come.  The  world, the  flesh, and  Sa  -  tan  Will  strive  to  hedge  our  way, 
His      pres-ent  help  to   lend.     He    nev-  er     will  grow  wea  -ry,Though  often  we      re-  quest ;

What  is    Your  Life 


How  short  and  hasty  is  our  life  1 
How  vast  our  souls  affairs  ! 

Yet  senseless  mortals  vainly  strive 
To  lavish  out  their  years. 

Our  days  run  thoughtlessly  along, 
Without  a  moment's  stay  ; 

Just  like  a  story,  or  a  song, 
We  pass  our  lives  away. 


3  God  from  on  high  invites  us  home, 

But  we  march  heedlees  on. 
And,  ever  hastening  to  the  tomb, 
Stoop  downward  as  we  run. 

4  Draw  us,  O  God,  with  sovereign  grace, 

And  lift  our  thoughts  on  high. 
That  we  may  end  this  mortal  race, 
And  see  salvation  nigh.

2  "  The    tempest  may  howl,  and   the   loud  4  "  But  when  among  strangers  and  far  from 

thunders  roll  —  home  — 

And  gathering  clouds  may  arise —  No  kindred  or  relative  nigh  — 

Yet  calm  are  my  feelings,  at  rest  is  my  soul,  I  met  the  contagion  and  sank  in  the  tomb. 
The  tears  are  all  wiped  from  my  eyes.  My  spirit  ascending  on  high.

To  publish  salvation  abroad ;  The  same  hand  that  led  me  through  scenes 

The  trump  of  the  gospel  endeavored  to  blow,         dark  and  drear 

Inviting  poor  sinners  to  God.  Has  kindly  conducted  me  home."

Note.  Joseph  Thomas,  called  the  "  White  Pilgrim  "  because  of  his  garb,  was  one  of  the  pioneers  of 
the  Christian  denomination,  born  in  North  CaroHna,  March  7, 1791.  He  began  preaching  when  only  17 
years  old,  laboring  most  of  his  ministry  as  an  itinerant.  He  was  striken  with  smallpox  at  Johnsonburg, 
N.  J.,  where  he  died  April  9, 1835.

1  O  thou,  who  reign'st  enthroned  in  light, 

Whom  heavenly  hosts  obey  ; 
Creation  owns  thy  boundless  might ; 
Thou  rul'st  with  potent  sway. 

2  This  house  we  dedicate  to  thee  ; 

Here  shall  thy  praise  be  sung ; 
Here  may  thy  saints  in  unity 
Employ  the  tuneful  tongue. 


3  Here  may  thy  sacred  word  be  taught, 

Our  only  rule  obeyed  ; 
Here  by  almighty  power  wrought, 
Be  wondrous  grace  displayed. 

4  Humbled  beneath  thy  wondrous  power 

We  at  thy  footstool  fall ; 
Thine  be  this  consecrated  hour ; 
Thine  be  our  lives,  our  all.

Salem's  bright  King,  Jesus  by  name, 
In  ancient  time  to  Jordan  came, 

All  righteousness  to  fill; 
'Twas  there  the  ancient  Baptist  stood, 
Whose  name  was  John,  a  man  of  God, 

To  do  his  Master's  will. 


Come,  children,  come  ;  his  voice  obey; 
Salem's  bright  King  has  marked  the  way, 

And  has  a  crown  prepared  ; 
O  then  arise  and  give  consent, 
Walk  in  the  way  that  Jesus  went, 

And  have  the  great  reward. 


Down  to  old  Jordan's  rolling  stream       5 
The  Baptist  led  the  holy  Lamb, 

And  there  did  him  baptize  ; 
Jehovah  saw  his  darling  Son, 
And  was  well  pleased  with  what  he'd  done, 

And  owned  him  from  the  skies. 


Believing  children,  gather  round, 
And  let  your  joyful  songs  abound. 

With  cheerful  hearts  arise  ; 
See,  here  is  water,  here  is  room. 
A  loving  Saviour  calling,  "Come, 

O  children,  be  baptized." 


"This  is  my  Son,"  Jehovah  cries; 
On  him  to  rest  the  Spirit  flies, 

"O  children,  hear  ye  him;" 
Hark!  'tis  his  voice;  behold,  he  cries, 
"Repent,  believe,  and  be  baptized, 

And  wash  away  your  sins." 


Behold  1  his  servant  waiting  stands, 
With  willing  heart  and  ready  hands. 

To  wait  upon  the  bride ; 
Ye  candidates,  your  hearts  prepare, 
And  let  us  join  in  solemn  prayer, 

Down  by  the  water  side. 

Clement  Phinmbt. 


"7 1 4       IReunlon  IRijmn 

1  Anon  the  wild  winds  blew. 

At  length  the  dread  storm  came, 
The  Union  rent  in  two  — 

Brought  sorrow,  grief  and  shame. 
Chorus. 

Rejoice,  the  storm  is  o'er. 

And  peace  and  love  now  reign. 
We'll  work  as  ne'er  before. 
We'll  rally  now  again. 

2  War's  fierce  and  dreadful  strife 

Burst'forth  with  savage  yell. 
And  brave  men  yielded  life. 
Till  countless  thousands  fell. 

3  The  church  was  rent  in  twain. 

And  Christians  fell  apart ; 


The  very  thought  brings  pain 
To  each  true  brother's  heart. 

4  Swift  time  has  flown  since  then, 

Our  sep'rate  paths  we've  trod, 
The  Nation's  one  again. 
And  we  are  one  for  God. 

5  Let  all  the  wide  world  o'er 

Know  we  are  one  in  love, 
And  never,  never  more 

Will  strive  as  we  have  strove. 

6  God  haste  the  glorious  day, 

When  all  divided  bands 
Shall  be, —  as  Christians  say, — 
One  host  throughout  all  lands. 


Rev.  D.  E.  Millard,  D.D. 
Note.    This  hymn  was  written  for  use  at  the  American  Christian  Convention,  to  commemorate  the  reunion  of  the 
Southern  and  Northern  branches  of  the  Christian  Denomination,  and  was  sung  at  Marion,  Ind.,  Oct.  ii,  1890,  after  a 
separation  of  thirty-six  years.

Selection  1 

Praise  for  Jehovah's  Mercies 

Bless  Jehovah,  O  my  soul ;  And  all  that  is  within  me,  bless  his  holy  name. 

Bless  Jehovah,  0  my  soul ;     And  forget  not  all  his  benefits. 
Who  forgiveth  all  thine  iniquities  ;     Who  healeth  all  thy  diseases  ; 
Who  redeemeth  thy  life  from  destruction;     Who  crowneth  thee  with 
lovingkindness  and  tender  mercies. 
Who  satisfieth  thy  desire  with  good  things,     So  that  thy  youth  is  renewed 
like  the  eagle. 
Jehovah    executeth    righteous  acts,      And    judgments  for  all  that  are 
oppressed. 
He  made  known  his  ways  unto  Moses,     His  doings  unto  the  children  of 
Israel, 
Jehovah  is  merciful  and  gracious,     Slow  to  anger  and  abundant  in  loving- 
kindness. 
He  will  not  always  chide  ;     Neither  will  he  keep  his  anger  forever. 
He  hath  not  dealt  with  us  after  our  sins.   Nor  rewarded  us  after  our 
iniquities. 
For  as  the  heavens  are  high  above  the  earth.     So  great  is  his  lovingkindness 
toward  them  that  fear  him. 
As  far  as  the  east  is  from  the  west.     So  far  hath  he  removed  our  trans- 
gressions from  us. 
Like  as  a  father  pitieth  his  children.     So  Jehovah  pitieth  them  that  fear  him. 

For  he  knoweth  our  frame ;     He  remembereth  that  we  are  dust. 
As  for  man,  his  days  are  as  grass  ;     As  a  flower  of  the  field,  so  he  flourisheth. 
For  the  wind  passeth  over  it,  and  it  is  gone  ;    And  the  place  thereof  shall 
know  it  no  more. 
But  the  lovingkindness  of  Jehovah  is  from  everlasting  to  everlasting  upon 
them  that  fear  him, 
And  his  righteousness  unto  children's  children ; 
To  such  as  keep  his  covenant.     And  to  those  that  remember  his  precepts  to 
do  them, 
Jehovah  hath  established  his  throne  in  the  heavens ;     And  his  kingdom 
ruleth  over  all.

Delight  in  God's  House 

How  amiable  are  thy  tabernacles,  O  Jehovah  of  hosts !

My  heart  and  my  flesh  cry  out  unto  the  living  God. 

Yea,  the  sparrow  hath  found  her  a  house.     And  the  swallow  a  nest  for 
herself,  where  she  may  lay  her  young,

Blessed  are  they  that  dwell  in  thy  house ; 

They  will  be  still  praising  thee. 
Blessed  is  the  man  whose  strength  is  in  thee  ; 

In  whose  heart  are  the  highways  to  Zion. 

Passing  through  the  valley  of  Weeping  they  make  it  a  place  of  springs ; 

Yea,  the  early  rain  covereth  it  with  blessings. 
They  go  from  strength  to  strength  ; 

Every  one  of  them  appeareth  before  God  in  Zion. 

0  Jehovah  God  of  hosts,  hear  my  prayer ; 
Give  ear,  0  God  of  Jacob. 

Behold,  O  God  our  shield.     And  look  upon  the  face  of  thine  anointed. 
For  a  day  in  thy  courts  is  better  than  a  thousand. 

1  had  rather  be  a  door-keeper  in  the  house  of  my  God, 
Than  to  dwell  in  the  tents  of  wickedness. 

For  Jehovah  God  is  a  sun  and  a  shield  ; 

Jehovah  will  give  grace  and  glory ; 
No  good  thing  will  he  withhold  from  them  that  walk  uprightly. 

0  Jehovah  of  hosts.   Blessed  is  the  man  that  trusteth  in  thee. 
Blessed  is  the  man  whom  thou  choosest,  and  causest  to  approach  unto  thee, 

That  he  may  dwell  in  thy  courts. 

We  shall  be  satisfied  with  the  goodness  of  thy  house, 

Thy  holy  temple. 

For  Jehovah  hath  chosen  Zion  ; 
He  hath  desired  it  for  his  habitation. 
This  is  my  resting-place  for  ever ;

Fearless  Trust  in  God 

Jehovah  is  my  light  and  my  salvation  ;     Whom  shall  I  fear  ? 

Jehovah  is  the  strength  of  my  life ;   Of  whom  shall  I  be  afraid  ? 
When  evil-doers  came  upon  me  to  eat  up  my  flesh,

Though  a  host  should  encamp  against  me,     My  heart  shall  not  fear :

The  Godly  Man 

Blessed  is  the  man  that  walketh  not  in  the  counsel  of  the  wicked, 

Nor  standeth  in  the  way  of  sinners, 

Nor  sitteth  in  the  seat  of  scoffers: 
But  his  delight  is  in  the  law  of  Jehovah  ; 

And  on  his  law  doth  he  meditate  day  and  night. 
And  he  shall  be  Uke  a  tree  planted  by  the  streams  of  water, 

That  bringeth  forth  its  fruit  in  its  season, 
Whose  leaf  also  doth  not  wither  ; 

And  whatsoever  he  doeth  shall  prosper. 
The  wicked  are  not  so.      But  are  like  the  chaff  which  the  wind  driveth 
away. 

Therefore  the  wicked  shall  not  stand  in  the  judgment, 

Nor  sinners  in  the  congregation  of  the  righteous. 
For  Jehovah  knoweth  the  way  of  the  righteous ; 

But  the  way  of  the  wicked  shall  perish. 
Jehovah,  who  shall  sojourn  in  thy  tabernacle  ? 
Who  shall  dwell  in  thy  holy  hill  ? 

He  that  walketh  uprightly,  and  worketh  righteousness, 

And  speaketh  truth  in  his  heart; 
He  that  slandereth  not  with  his  tongue, 

Nor  doeth  evil  to  his  friend. 

Nor  taketh  up  a  reproach  against  his  neighbor; 
In  whose  eyes  a  reprobate  is  despised. 

But  who  honoreth  them  that  fear  Jehovah; 
He  that  sweareth  to  his  own  hurt,  and  changeth  not ;

Come  before  his  presence  with  singing.

Enter  into  his  gates  with  thanksgiving, 

And  into  his  courts  with  praise:

And  his  faithfulness  unto  all  generations.

That  by  night  stand  in  the  house  of  Jehovah, 

Lift  up  your  hands  to  the  sanctuary, 

And  bless  Jehovah.

Behold,  how  good  and  how  pleasant  it  is 

For  brethren  to  dwell  together  in  unity ! 
It  is  like  the  precious  oil  upon  the  head,  that  ran  down  upon  the  beard,

That  came  down  upon  the  skirt  of  his  garments; 
Like  the  dew  of  Hermon,  that  cometh  down  upon  the  mountains  of  Zion  : 

For  there  Jehovah  commanded  his  blessing,  even  life  for  evermore.

The  Reign  of  the  Righteous  King 

Give  the  King  thy  judgments,  O  God, 
And  thy  righteousness  to  the  king's  son. 

He  will  judge  thy  people  with  righteousness,  and  thy  poor  with  justice. 
The  mountains  shall  bring  peace  to  the  people, 

And  the  hills,  in  righteousness.

And  they  of  the  city  shall  flourish  like  grass  of  the  earth.

Jehovah's  Omnipresence 

O  Jehovah,  thou  hast  searched  me,  and  known  me. 

Thou  knowest  my  downsitting  and  mine  uprising; 
Thou  understandest  my  thoughts  afar  off. 

Thou  searchest  out  my  path  and  my  lying  down,  and  art  acquainted  with 
all  my  ways. 

For  there  is  not  a  word  in  my  tongue,  but,  lo,  O  Jehovah,  thou  knowest 
it  altogether. 
Thou  hast  beset  me  behind  and  before,  and  laid  thy  hand  upon  me. 
Such  knowledge  is  too  wonderful  for  me  ;  it  is  high,  I  can  not  attain  unto  it. 
Whither  shall  I  go  from  thy  Spirit?  or  whither  shall  I  flee  from  thy  pres-

If  I  ascend  up  into  heaven  thou  art  there :  if  I  make  my  bed  in  Sheol, 
behold,  thou  art  there. 
If  I  take  the  wings  of  the  morning,  and  dwell  in  the  uttermost  parts  of  the

Even  there  shall  thy  hand  lead  me,  and  thy  right  hand  shall  hold  me.

The  darkness  and  the  light  are  both  alike  to  thee. 
How  precious  also  are  thy  thoughts  unto  me,  O  God  !  how  great  is  the 
sum  of  them  ! 
If  I  should  count  them,  they  are  more  in  number  than  the  sand: 
When  I  awake,  I  am  still  with  thee. 
Search  me,  O  God,  and  know  my  heart  ; 

Try  me,  and  know  my  thoughts;  and  see  if  there  be  any  wicked  way  in 

me. 
And  lead  me  in  the  way  everlasting. 
Jehovah,  I  have  called  upon  thee  ; 

Make  haste  unto  me:  give  ear  unto  my  voice,  when  I  call  unto  thee.

Thou  shalt  have  no  other  gods  before  me. 
Thou  shalt  not  make  unto  thee  a  graven  image,  nor  any  likeness  of  any- 
thing that  is  in  heaven  above,  or  that  is  in  the  earth  beneath,  or  that 
is  in  the  water  under  the  earth  : 

Thou  shalt  not  bow  down  thyself  unto  them,  nor  serve  them  ; 

For  I  Jehovah  thy  God  am  a  jealous  God,  visiting  the  iniquity  of  tho 
fathers  upon  the  children,  upon  the  third  and  upon  the  fourth  generatioii 
of  them  that  hate  me, 

And  showing  lovingkindness  unto  thousands  of   them  that  love  me  and 
keep  my  commandments. 
Thou  shalt  not  take  the  name  of  Jehovah  thy  God  in  vain ; 
For  Jehovah  will  not  hold  him  guiltless  that  taketh  his  name  in  vain. 

Remember  the  sabbath  day,  to  keep  it  holy. 
Six  days  shalt  thou  labour,  and  do  all  thy  work  ;  but  the  seventh  day  is  a 
sabbath  unto  Jehovah  thy  God  : 
In  it  thou  shalt  not  do  any  work,  thou,  nor  thy  son,  nor  thy  daughter,  thy 
man-servant,  nor  thy  maid-servant,  nor  thy  cattle,  nor  thy  stranger 
that  is  within  thy  gates : 
For  in  six  days  Jehovah  made  heaven  and  earth,  the  sea,  and  all  that  in 
them  is,  and  rested  the  seventh  day  : 
Wherefore  Jehovah  blessed  the  seventh  day,  and  hallowed  it. 
Honour  thy  father  and  thy  mother,  that  thy  days  may  be  long  in  the  land 
which  Jehovah  thy  God  giveth  thee. 
Thou  shalt  not  kill. 
Thou  shalt  not  commit  adultery. 

Thou  shalt  not  steal. 
Thou  shalt  not  bear  false  witness  against  thy  neighbour. 
Thou  shalt  not  covet  thy  neighbour's  house,  thou  shalt  not  covet  thy 
neighbour's  wife,  nor  his  man-servant,  nor  his  maid-servant,  nor  his 
ox,  nor  his  ass,  nor  anything  that  is  thy  neighbour's. 

Jesus'   Summary  of  the  Law 

And  he  said  unto  him,     Thou  shalt  love  the  Lord  thy  God  with  all  thy 
heart,  and  with  all  thy  soul,  and  with  all  thy  mind. 
This  is  the  great  and  first  commandment. 
And  a  second  like  unto  it  is  this, 
Thou  shalt  love  thy  neighbour  as  thyself. 

On  these  two  commandments  the  whole  law  hangeth,  and  the  prophets.

The  Greatness  of  Love 

If  I  speak  with  the  tongues  of  men  and  of  angels,  but  have  not  love, 
I  am  become  sounding  brass,  or  a  clanging  cymbal. 

And   if  I   have  the  gift  of  prophecy,    and  know  all   mysteries,   and  all 
knowledge ; 
And  if  I  have  all  faith,  so  as  to  remove  mountains,  but  have  not  love,  I 
am  po^-hing 

And  if  I  bestow  all  my  goods  to  feed  the  poor,  and  if  I  give  my  body  to 
be  burned,  but  have  not  love,  it  profiteth  me  nothing. 

Love  suffereth  long,  and  is  kind ; 
Love  envieth  not  ;  love  vaunteth  not  itself,  is  not  puffed  up, 

Doth  not  behave  itself  unseemly,  seeketh  not  its  own, 
Is  not  provoked,  taketh  not  account  of  evil , 

Rejoiceth  not  in  unrighteousness, 
But  rejoiceth  with  the  truth  ; 

Beareth  all  things,  believeth  all  things,  hopeth  all  things,  endureth  all 
things. 

Love  never  faileth  :  but  whether  there  be  prophecies,  they  shall  be  done 
away  ; 
Whether  there  be  tongues,  they  shall  cease  ;  whether  there  be  knowledge, 
it  shall  be  done  away. 

For  we  know  in  part,  and  we  prophesy  in  part ;  but  when  that  which  is 
perfect  is  come,  that  which  is  in  part  shall  be  done  away. 
When  I  was  a  child  I  spake  as  a  child,  I  felt  as  a  child,  I  thought  as  a 
child : 
Now  that  I  am  become  a  man,  I  have  put  away  childish  things. 

For  now  we  see  in  a  mirror,  darkly ;  but  then  face  to  face  : 
Now  I  know  in  part ;  but  then  shall  I  know  fully  even  as  also  I  was  fully 
known. 
But  now  abideth  faith,  hope,  love,  these  three ;  and  the  greatest  of  these 
is  love.
